I completed the Nurse Aide course since 1992, but have now let my Registry certification expire. What do I have to do to meet the new entry requirements?
To meet the new entry requirements, which will be enforced beginning Fall `08, you will need to submit proof of successful completion of both the Nurse Aide written (NRAO858) and skills test (NRAO859) for placement on the Direct Care Worker Registry. A transcript indicating you passed both tests or a Registry card will serve as verification. In addition, you will have to complete the Advanced CNA course (HSC 182/NRAO 333) or a combined equivalent 120 hour or more course. A transcript of your course grade or certificate of completion will serve as verification. Please note that if you want to work in Long Term Care, you will need to take the Nurse Aide Competency testing again to demonstrate your competency and skills.
