The state requires its nurse aides to have a certification before they can work in any health care setting. The only way for you to get a certification is by taking on the license exams after you complete your training. Your training must come from a state-approved training program so that you will become eligible to apply for the license exams. To complete a training program, you must have 75 hours of classes and 100 hours of skills training. While still a nursing assistant student, you will already be exposed to the clinical area so that you can get a good grasp at what it is really like to work with actual patients and other members of the healthcare team.

Another way for you to find work in this state is by applying for reciprocity. This method is only applicable to those who are already holders of a CNA license. When applying for reciprocity, the applicant must have an active license. They will also be required to submit a copy of their certification, the results for the background checks, and their exam results. For more information, you can call the state’s Nurse Aide Registry at (850) 245-4567. To qualify to take the certification exam in the state of Florida you need to be 18 years of age, have a basic competency in reading and writing, and complete seventy-five hours of class instruction work and one hundred hours of practical training.
