To be able to work in Missouri as a nurse aide, you must have an active status on the state’s Nurse Aide Registry. Only those who have an active status on the Registry are eligible to work in a long-term care facility as a CNA. To keep one’s status active, you must be able to work for at least a day as a paid nurse aide every 2 years.

To enter a school program there are several requirements. They are that you are 18 years old (or enrolled in a high school vocational class), be free of any disqualifying convictions, and not be listed on the state’s employee disqualification list. Once enrolled in a course you will train for 75 hours in the classroom and 100 hours in a clinical setting. Those who complete the course can set a date to take the competency exams which have two parts. Completion of both portions of the test which include a written and a skills part means you are certified and added to the registry database for nurse aides.

If you took a break from employment for two years, your certificate will be changed to inactive. An inactive certificate will no longer make you eligible to work in a LTC facility as a nurse aide. To activate this, you must challenge the evaluation exams. You will need to submit a copy of your social security number, daytime contact number, and current return address. Advance certifications such as IA and CMT certifications will also be inactive and will only be reactivated once your CNA certificate is reactivated.

A certification is considered expired if a nurse aide fails to renew his certificate for 5 years. An expired certificate will no longer be reactivated. If he wishes to work again as a nurse aide, then he will need to start all over by enrolling again in a state-approved training class and then challenge the license exams afterwards.
