How Do I Take the CNA Certification Test?
CNAs (certified nurse’s assistants/aides) must undergo thorough and sometimes rigorous training to become certified. First, a student must attend nurse’s aide training classes approved by her state of origin. This typically consists of roughly 75 hours of training: approximately 51 hours of classroom instruction and 24 hours of live-person care-giving in actual care facilities. Following completion of such coursework, the student CNA will fill out paperwork that will be filed with the State Board of Nursing by the instructor. To become certified, the student nurse’s aide will need to pass both written and hands-on exams given by the State Board of Nursing. Taking the CNA certification test may be a nerve-wracking experience for many students, but knowing what to expect may take some of the mystery out of the process.
