I’ve completed a 75-hour approved Nurse Aide course but didn’t take the Nurse Aide Registry Exam. Do I need to take it before I can be accepted into the DMACC Nursing program?
Students who start Nursing classes in either the Fall of `07 or the Spring of `08 will be admitted under the old requirements and are not required to take the Direct Care Worker’s Registry exam (Nurse Aide Registry exam). Students admitted to Nursing in the Fall of `08 or thereafter will need to meet the new entry requirements which include passing both parts of the Direct Care Worker’s Registry exam (written and skills tests), taking the Advanced Nurse Aide course (HSC 182/NRAO 333) and the Nursing Admissions tests. Click here to see the Admissions Process flowchart. If you are not currently on the Standby (waiting) list it is in your best interest to plan and complete all of the new requirements and take the Direct Care Worker’s Registry exams. There is not a separate Registry test for the Advanced CNA level.
