One of the best ways to start a career in the field of health is to become a nurse aide in Washington. Nurse aides work under the supervision of a registered nurse and other members of the healthcare team. They help provide nursing and nursing-related care to patients who are in different health care areas. What makes this profession great? Since nurse aides are entry-level professionals, you don’t have to spend years before you can work as one.

According to the state law, a person must be on the Nurse Aide Registry within 4 days from the start of his work. If you want to immediately start working as a one, then you’ll need to apply and’ become a nurse aide-registered. A facility is allowed to hire a person to work as a nurse aide, even without a certificate if they take responsibility for his actions.

Nurse aide-registered are allowed to work for only a maximum of 120 days from the start of their work. During that time, the nurse aide must undergo proper training and pass the certification exam to continue working as one. During the training period, the nurse aide-registered is not allowed to perform any procedure or skill that hasn’t been taught in the classroom. You can find out more about this by following this link: http://www.altsa.dshs.wa.gov/professional/nat/120%20DAY%20RULE%20EXPLANATION.htm.

If you want to work full-time as a nurse aide, then you’ll have to become a nurse aide-certified. You don’t need to become a nurse aide-registered before you can get certified. You can apply for a NA Certification as soon as you get into the Nurse Aide Registry by passing the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program Examination or NNAAP exam.

The NNAAP exam is conducted with the help of Pearson VUE. It consists of a multiple-choice knowledge test and a skills evaluation exam. You can only take this test if you successfully complete a training program that is approved by the state’s Department of Social and Health Services. Your name will only be entered into the NAR if you pass both tests.

In case a candidate fails, he or she is given another 2 attempts to pass. When retaking the exam, the candidate is only required to retake the test(s) that he or she failed. If a candidate fails the 3rd attempt, then he will have to complete another training program.
