If you are planning on becoming entering the medical field, you should start to consider becoming a nursing assistant. Because of high demand for this profession, you will have no problems looking for a job as soon as you become certified. CNA training in Missouri will take you 4 to 6 months to complete.

If you want to have a higher degree, there are different certificates that you can add on top of your nurse aide certification. For example, you can become a certified medication technical or get an insulin administration certificate. To qualify for these, you must be at least 18 years old; possess a high school diploma or a GED; have an active status as a CNA; and must not have any federal markers or be on the state’s EDL.

RNs may also take advantage in the profession’s increase in demand. If you are a nurse that is registered in Missouri, you can become a nursing assistant instructor or a clinical supervisor. You will need to have the necessary experience and complete a train-the-trainer program. Each instructor is only allowed to handle up to 15 students for each class. The lesser the student-instructor ratio is, the better it is for learning.

If you have questions about the qualifications need for certification you can call the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services at 573-526-5686 or via email at:  info@health.mo.gov
