One of the best ways to start a career in the field of medicine is to become a nurse aide. Working as a nurse aide means that you will be working closely with the patients, while under the watchful eyes of the registered nurses. You will perform different nursing procedures that will be delegated to you by the nurses.

Since you will be working closely with patients all the time, it is important that you learn how to properly meet their individual needs. You can gain all the knowledge and skills that you will need by enrolling in a state-certified nursing assistant training program. CNA training in California consists of 50 hours of lectures and 100 hours of clinical practice. There are some programs that offer more than 150 hours of training.

Once you are done with your training, you will be ready and eligible to challenge the certification exam. This exam is divided into two parts – the written knowledge test and the clinical skills test. Both exams are conducted on the same day so you must plan accordingly. Passing all the tests will get you certified by the Aide and Technician Certification Section of the L&C Program. A certification will prove to your potential employers that you are a competent nurse aide.

Failing in one test means a failed certification exam. Each candidate is given only 3 attempts to pass. Since your training is only valid for 2 years after you complete a program, you must use those attempts within that time. If you fail to pass within 3 attempts or within 2 years, you will be required to undergo retraining.

If you are unhappy with the results of the exam, you are allowed to file for grievance. All grievances are followed-up by the CDPH within 30 days of receiving the request. If a fault is found made by the evaluator, CDPH, or Pearson VUE, you will be allowed to retest for free. All grievances must be handwritten by the complainant.
