According to the law of the federal and state, any person who is routinely doing nursing or nursing-related services that were delegated by a registered nurse or LPN must be certified and have his/her name in the Board of Nursing. Only those individuals who have been certified by the Board are the ones who are allowed to work as a CNA. To become licensed, you must be able to complete a training program that is approved by the board. Most programs will take about 2 to 6 months to complete, with at least 100 hours of clinical duties and basic skills training.

After completing the program, you must then be able to pass the competency exams. You will also need to pay $20 as your initial certification fee, complete the application form, and submit to a Criminal History Record Check. The Susquehanna Red Cross is the testing location and it is administered by the Maryland Geriatric Nursing Assistant Testing Service and you can contact them at 866-257-6470 to find out more information.

Once you are certified, you will be allowed to work as a nursing aide for up to two years. After that, you will then be required to renew your certification. In order for you to be eligible for renewal, you must have worked for at least 8 hours while under the supervision of a registered nurse and must have been paid to do so. The cost for the recertification fee is $40 and needs to be paid every two years.
