There are a variety of CNA classes that you can enter in the state of Texas to get a certification in nursing assistance. You must have a license to be able to work in Texas for a long period as a nursing assistant. To receive a certification license you must go through a training course and take the competency exams. Before enrolling in any schools you must make sure they are approved by the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services and meet the requirements set by the state.

Classes will provide you with classroom coursework and theoretical instruction into common nursing related procedures and provide hands-on experience working in a medical setting. During your skills training you will learn how to help patients with the following: range of motion exercises, transporting, toileting, bathing, feeding, infection control, communication, catheter care, housekeeping, and taking vital signs.

The facility you finish your course with will often help you schedule a date to take the competency exams. However, if you need to find a testing location you can try calling NACES, the Nurse Aide Competency Evaluation Services at 1-800-444-5178. The exams are made of two parts, a written and a demonstration part. You are allowed three attempts to pass each exam. Those who fail to pass must retake a training program. Those who are successful are placed on the Texas nurse aide registry for a duration of 24 months. You can check your certification status on the registry by contacting the automated phone line at 1-800-452-3934.
