To work as a nurse aide in Missouri you will need to become listed on the state registry. Usually candidates will enroll in a training course and complete the required 75 hours of class instruction and put in 100 hours of clinical practice to qualify to take the certification examination. To be accepted into a program applicants must be at least 18 years of age, have a record free of any disqualifying convictions, as well as not being listed on the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services employee disqualification list. The exception to the age requirement is if you are enrolled in a high school health occupation class.

Those who finish the course successfully can schedule a testing date. The exam is made up of two parts and both parts will need to be passed in order to become certified. The state does offer those who feel they have the experience to challenge the exams directly without going through a class program. To qualify you will need to apply to the state and receive a letter of approval. Those who are granted the ability to challenge the exam will only receive one opportunity to pass or need to take a class.

After passing the exam the applicant becomes certified and listed on the searchable registry database used by employers to verify licensure. Nursing assistant on this list will need to renew their license every two years to remain listed in good standing. Renewal is done by submitting verification of 8 hours spent performing the duties of a nurse aide. You can call to speak with a representative of the state at 573-526-5686, or email them at: info@health.mo.gov to learn more about the latest qualification requirements, or get additional renewal information.

There are now a number of people who are taking advantage of the increase of demand for nursing aides all over the country. The rising demand for workers in this profession has also created an increase in job openings for their instructors and supervisors, as well as examiners for the license exams.

To become a clinical instructor, you must be an RN that is registered in Missouri’s Board of Nursing Registry. You must have at least 2 years of experience where 1 of those years was spent working in a long-term healthcare center. Your experience in the long-term healthcare centers must be recent and should be within the last 5 years.

Once you meet those criteria, you must then attend and complete a train-the-trainer course. Once you complete the course, your name will automatically be added to the CNA Instructor Registry. Each instructor is only allowed to handle up to 15 students in one class. It is recommended that the ration of the instructor to the students should be 1::10 or even less.
