Health has been a growing industry for the past century. With the increase in the number of people who need assistance with their health needs, there is now a shortage of health care providers. If you are thinking of entering the field of medicine, then you should consider becoming a nursing aide.

To work as a nursing aide in California you must have a CNA certification. Challenging the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program is one of the biggest steps in becoming a nursing assistant. If you pass all the tests of the NNAAP exam, you will receive your certification.

Before you can challenge the NNAAP exam, you must first equip yourself with the necessary knowledge to pass the NNAAP exam. You can only apply for the NNAAP exam if you successfully complete a 150-hour CNA training course. These courses are offered throughout the country by both private and public institutions and schools. The hours are divided into 50 hours of lectures and 100 hours of clinical practice while under the supervision of a CNA instructor. Most programs in the state can be completed within 12-24 weeks of continuing training.

The NNAAP exam consists of two parts. The first part is the knowledge exam. This exam consists of 70 multiple-choice questions that will cover the different topics that are taught in the training program. It is normally offered as a written exam but those who have trouble reading English can request to take an oral version of the knowledge test.

The request must be made upon submitting the application forms to the testing center. There is also an additional payment fee of $15 for those who chose to take the oral exam. If you wish to have special accommodation for certain disabilities, you can also make a request for what you need. The request must also be sent along with other requirements. Keep note that there are no additional charges for special accommodations or considerations.

The second part of the examination is the skills evaluation. In this part you will be required to perform 5 nursing tasks in front of a nursing aide evaluator. You will be given 25 minutes to perform all tasks. The first task will always be proper hand washing. The remaining 4 will be randomly selected from a list. You must perform all tasks with at least 80% competency to pass this portion of the NNAAP exam.

If you are a currently a nurse aide registered in a different state, then you may apply for reciprocity so that you can work in California. One of the requirements to be approved for reciprocity is to have an active license or your name should still be in your state’s registry list. You also should not have any records of any acts that may disqualify you from working in the state. Examples of such acts include patient abuse, negligence, malpractice, or any violation of the patients’ rights.
