The state of Hawaii requires all aspiring nursing assistants to complete a state-approved training program before taking care of any patients on their own. To pass a training program, you must be able to meet the total number of hours that is required by the state. Most of the programs take only up to a couple of months to complete. When you finish a program, you should have at least 70 hours of classroom lectures and 30 hours of practical training. When you are in the clinical area, you should be placed under the supervision of a registered nurse or another member of the healthcare team.
After you complete your training, you will become eligible to apply for the license exams. You will need to send in your finished application form along with the needed document.
