If you would like to become certified to work as a nurse aide in Texas there are a few requirements that must be met. One of the requirements is to complete a CNA training program that has been authorized by the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS). This must be done if you have not yet received any proper training and certification from another state. Another requirement is to pass the background check that is conducted by both the federal and the state. In some programs you will also be required to go through a physical exam and submit identifying documentation.

During your course you will learn the fundamental health care skills necessary on the job as a nursing assistant. To prepare you for dealing with patients you’ll receive theoretical instruction about common procedures and clinical hands-on practice. The skills training will include exercises performing: range of motion exercises, measuring & recoding patients vital signs, assisting with dressing/toileting/feeding, infection control methods, safety procedures, observation skills, and catheter care.

After your school training is complete you will want to schedule a date to take the certification exams. You can contact the Nurse Aide Competency Evaluation Services (NACES) from their toll free phone number at 1-800-444-5178 or local number at (512) 467-0615 to find a test location in your area.

The written test contain 70 multiple choice problems, while the demonstration exam will challenge you to manually demonstrate five different randomly selected tasks. Each person who takes the competency exams are given three tries to pass each of the two tests. Those that do pass become certified nurse aides that are eligible to work for 24 months.
