Entering the medical field by becoming a CNA in Maine is a great career choice. You can use this occupation to gain experience and jump start your career in healthcare. Compared to other courses, becoming a nursing aide is less costly and more time efficient. With the different training programs in the state, you find that these programs can be finished within 6 months.Becoming a certified nursing assistant is not very difficult. All you have to do to get your certification is to take and pass the state exams. The examination is composed of two parts, a written and a practical exam. In the practical test you will have to demonstrate 10 different nursing skills. You must pass both parts of the exam to get your license.

After you complete the training, your next step is to send your application to the board to take the license exams. You can find a copy of the appropriate forms at http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/dlrs/cna/faq/index.shtml. You will also need to send in other forms such as proof of your training, government issued IDs, passport-sized pictures, lab tests, immunization history and results, as well as the payment for the exam fees.

Taking the exams is a must step since it will be the only way for you to get your name entered on the Maine Registry. Once it is there, you must maintain that status to remain eligible for work. Keep in mind that the nursing assistant licenses in the state will need to be renewed once every two years.
