Your first task in becoming a nursing assistant is the completion of a CNA training program. These programs must be approved by the state. To complete a program, you must have at least 80 hours of training. Nurse aide training is composed of theoretical lectures that are held in classrooms and hands-on skills training while will later be applied in actual healthcare settings like hospitals and nursing homes.

As a nursing assistant student, you will be trained in the different basic nursing care skills like proper hand washing, doing bed baths, assisting ambulation, feeding through normal or special means like with the use of NGTs, catheter care, doing passing ROM exercises, and even emergency procedures. You should make sure that you will perform these skills/procedures properly since they will be covered in the second part of the license exams or the NNAAP examination, which is conducted by Pearson VUE.

After the completion of a training program you will then be eligible to take on the state license exams. Before you can apply for the exams, you must first complete the rest of the necessary paperwork. Your next important task after the completion of your training is passing the background checks that are done by both the federal and the state. You will also be required to undergo immunizations and physical exams to determine that you are in a state of good health and that you do not carry any communicable disease. Once you are done with those, all that is left do are the minor tasks like submitting the complete application form, ID photo, fingerprint cards, and paying the examination fees.
