A CNA certification is a requirement to work in a certified healthcare facility as a nursing aide. Only allowing certified nursing aides to work long-term will help ensure that goal of the Nursing Home Reform Act: to provide better quality care to patients in hospitals, nursing homes, long-term care centers, and other clinical areas.

Nursing Aide Training

To get a certification, you need to pass the certification exam.  You can only take the exam if you successfully complete state-approved classes. These courses offer a minimum of 120 hours, of which 32 are allocated for clinical practice.  You can find a suitable program offered by hospitals; community colleges; nursing homes; technical and vocational schools; government organizations; and other healthcare institutions and schools.

Examples of the concepts that are taught in the program include:

–    Infection control
–    Mental health
–    Vital signs
–    Nutrition
–    Medical terminologies
–    Safety precautions and emergency care
–    Communication skills
–    Patient rights and independence
–    Basic nursing procedures and skills
–    Personal skills

Nursing Aide Certification Exam

The state’s certification exam is conducted by the American Red Cross (ARC) with the help of Pearson VUE. This exam is divided into a multiple-choice knowledge test and a skills evaluation exam. Both tests cost $115, and must be paid upon the submission of the application forms. Candidates are required to pass both tests within one year after completing their training to gain entry into the Nurse Aide Registry and receive a CNA certification/card.

Reimbursement

If a candidate is hired or receives a job offer prior to enrolling in a training program, the candidate may not be charged for any expenses. Both training and testing fees must be charged to the employer. If you paid for your training and testing before getting employed, fret not. You may still get reimbursement for your expenses if you manage to get hired within one year after getting certified. You may only be reimbursed by your first employer. To make sure that you get proper reimbursement, it is advised that you keep all original receipts.
