There are plenty of ways for to become a nursing aide in the state of Illinois. The most common and easiest way is to pass the state’s nursing assistant competency exams.  Before you are allowed to take the exams, you must first comply with the different requirements of the state. This means that you have to undergo proper training by enrolling in state approved CNA classes. These courses take about 2 to 6 months to complete. Programs are required to be forty hours in length or more and cover practical nursing assistant skills in a health care facility environment.

Once you are through with your training, you can then apply for the exams. The exams for this state are handled by different institutions. Many of the institutions that offer their training are equipped to conduct the exams. Keep in mind that the state of Illinois no longer requires the testing centers to issue any license or certificate once someone pass their exams. IF you are able to pass all the tests, your name will be entered in the state’s Nurse Aide Registry. Upon getting certified your license will never expire if you have worked anytime within a span of two consecutive years. In addition nursing aide’s that come from other states and countries can apply for reciprocity if they wish to take the exam to work in Illinois.

Only those whose names are in the registry are allowed to work as nursing aides in a healthcare facility. Nurse assistants from other states are welcome to work here but they must first apply for reciprocity before they can work.
