There are different ways for you to become a nursing assistant. One of the most common ways is by passing the state-approved CNA training program and then applying for the license exams. You can find that the programs in this state are offered by colleges and some nursing homes. Most training can be accomplished within 6 months and may be shorter or longer, depending on the school you enroll in. To finish a program, you must have at least 75 hours in lectures and 100 hours of clinical exposure.

After the completion of your training you can then apply for the license exams, provided you completed the other requirements. Examples of such requirements include having a high school diploma, being at least 18 years, old, and knowing how to read and write. When you apply, you will also include along with the documents the payments for the exams and the background checks. You will not be allowed to take the exams if you do not pass the background checks. According to the state rules, all payments will not be refunded if you fail any part of the exams including the background checks.

If you are already a CAN from a different state, you will no longer be required to take the license exams. You will also have different requirements that must be submitted when applying for reciprocity. You must provide a copy of your certification, exam results, as well as the results to your background checks.
