Before you can take care of the patients as a nursing assistant, you have to receive the proper training from a CNA training program that is certified by the state. By doing so, you can make sure that you will be able to apply for the license exams after you complete your training. Having a license is necessary to have since the state of Florida does not allow its nurse aides to work in any healthcare setting without one. You must be at least 18 years old to become a nursing assistant and have a high school diploma or something that is equivalent to it.

Other requirements for the license exams include passing a fingerprint card, ID photo, transcripts, passport sized pictures, complete application form, and the payment for the background checks. You cannot take the exams if you fail the federal and state background checks. This rule is applicable also to those who are applying for endorsement to work as a nurse aide in this state. For more information, you can contact the state’s Nurse Aide Registry at (850) 245-4567.
