Once you complete your training there, you will become eligible to apply for the license exams. Taking the license exams is an important step in becoming one since it is the only way for you to get your name entered in the state’s registry for Nurse Aides.
The license exams for the state of u should Indiana are all handled by the Ivy Tech Community College. Their exams are composed of a written and a skills demonstration on the basic nursing skills. You can also request to have an oral exam instead of a written test by sending a letter during your application to the board. In order to get you name entered in the registry, you must be able to pass all the tests.
