With the increasing demand for nursing aides in the county, more and more people are looking for ways to become a CNA. In the state of Indiana, you will not be allowed to work as one if your name is not in the Nurse Aide Registry. It will only be entered there once you pass all the tests for the license exams, but before you can take the exams there are several prerequisites that you have to comply with first. The first thing that you have to do is to become eligible to apply for the license exams. To do so, you will need to find a state-certified training program to enroll in. Once you complete their CNA classes, you can then request for the application forms from them. One of the most important requirements when applying is being able to pass the federal and state background checks. If you have records such as theft or abuse, you may not be able to proceed and become a nursing assistant.

The license exams for this state are handled by the Ivy Tech Community College. This is where you will need to send the payment for the exam fees once you get approval from the board. Their exams are composed of two parts, a written exam and a skills evaluation. For more information about the exams, you can call them at 317-917-5948. Once you become certified to work you will need to renew your license for each two year period. This can be accomplished by sending in verification of working at the minimum one eight hour shift.
