The first task in getting your CNA certificate is to find a training program to enroll in. By completing a 130-hour state-approved training program, you will become eligible to take the state’s license exams. If you pass all the tests in the license examination, your name will automatically be entered on the state’s NA Registry and you will receive your certificate. Nursing graduates and foreign registered nurses are also able to apply for the exams if they meet the requirements.

Only those whose names are on the Registry and have an active status are allowed to work in a nursing facility. Another way of getting your name on the list is by applying for reciprocity. The process of reciprocity however, is only available to those who are already a nurse aide who is currently registered to a different states Registry.

Nurse aide certificates in this state are only valid for up to two years. To remain active in the Registry, you must have worked for at least 8 hours every two years. For those who are working in a long-term healthcare facility, they are also required to complete the 12-hour yearly in-service.
