CNA Programs In Florida
If you’re looking into CNA programs in Florida, then there are a few important facts you need to know about CNA training and certification in the state, before you make a final decision. Read on to find out more about who can qualify as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Florida (and how) as well as career prospects, and more.
What Are the Requirements for Florida CNA Training Programs?
Florida is one of the few states where taking a state approved training program is not the only way to qualify as a CNA.
There are state approved CNA or nurses aide training programs that are run by community colleges and other institutions, and recommended by the Health Department, but you can choose to take an alternative route to qualification.
One option is to ‘challenge’ the CNA exam. This means that you take the CNA certification exam without approved training. If you pass the exam, you will be included on the register of certified nurses aides. You do need to be 18 years or older, and be in possession of a high school diploma or GED to choose this option. Another option is to train as a nurses aid in a nursing home, and then take the Florida CNA exam.
Finally, Certified Nursing Assistants from other states, who are certified and in good standing in their state can apply for what is known as ‘reciprocity’, where the Florida Board of Nursing allows you to work in the state based on your out of state qualifications.
What Is the Florida CNA Registry?
Every CNA who wants to work in Florida, must be certified, and registered on the Florida CNA Registry. This is a list of qualified nurses aides, who have passed the exam, and who are in good standing. The list is administered by the Florida Department of Health Board of Nursing.
Can You Work As a CNA If You Are Not Registered?
The Florida Department of Health allows trainee and candidate Certified Nurse Assistants, who have not yet completed their training, or have not taken the certification exam, to work for up to 120 days without being registered. This allows trainee nursing assistants in Florida to start earning before they have completed their studies – but they still have to pass the exam to continue working!
What Other Options Are There?
In Florida, a CNA is not your only option, if you want to work as a nursing assistant. A CNA in Florida will work with very basic patient care – feeding, washing or bathing, taking vital signs and other basic care. There is, however, also another type of nurses assistant, known as a Patient Care Technician (PCT), that requires more intensive training, but qualifies the trainee to perform more in depth medical functions as an assistant to a Registered Nurse (RN) or a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).
Whether you choose CNA training or PCT Training in Florida, the career prospects are good, job opportunities are plentiful, and salaries are relatively high, in comparison to the training and certification requirements.

CNA Programs in Alabama
If you live in Alabama, love working with and helping people, and would like to find a job that allows you to do that, then there is a good chance you might already have considered looking for Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) schools in Alabama.
Read on, and discover more about training, certification, and registration as a CNA or nurse’s aid in Alabama, as well as career prospects, CNA salaries in Alabama, and other useful facts.
Nurses Aide Training Programs in Alabama
In Alabama, a CNA is also known as a nurse’s aide, and most of the training programs you will find are referred to using that term.
When you are looking for nursing assistant training programs in the state of Alabama, remember that you need to find a school that is approved by the Alabama Department of Health, if you want your qualification to be recognised by the state. Most of the approved CNA training courses in Alabama are run by community colleges, the Red Cross, or some of the larger nursing facilities, so start your search there.
How Can You Tell If a CNA Training Program in Alabama Is Approved?
The content of the approved nurse’s aide training programs in Alabama is governed by the OBRA (Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act.) This act dictates that within the training course, which is usually around twelve weeks long, seventy-five hours of specified training materials are covered.
All approved courses will cover CPR, basic patient care, basic clinical nursing, terminology related to medicine, medical administration and facility management skills, and other critical facets of the nurses aides’ job,
Do You Qualify to Train as a Nurses Aide In Alabama?
You do not need to have a high school diploma or GED to take a CNA training course in Alabama. In fact, you can complete your training while you are still in high school. There are also free training options in the state, through nursing facilities, where you receive training free, but pledge a predetermined number of hours work to the institution in exchange for the cost of your studies. If you do have to pay for CNA training in Alabama, the cost is currently around $1000 for a typical, approved 12-week course.

Undergoing CNA training is not the final step to becoming a nurse’s aide in Alabama.
In most cases, although you can take the course while you are still in high school, you will not be hired as a nurse’s aide in Alabama until you are 18 years old.
You also need to ensure that within 24 months of successfully completing your CNA training, you take the NNAAP exam, or the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program, whether you are already working, or whether you plan to work later on.
Once you have completed the exam, you should be included on the Alabama Nurse Aide Registry, which is run by the Alabama Department of Public Health. That registration ensures that you can legally work for any employer in Alabama.
Alabama CNA Salary
Considering the minimal amount of training involved in qualifying as a CNA or nurse’s aide in Alabama, the salary range that you can expect is quite respectable. New entrants to the job market can expect to earn anything from around $15,000 to $25,000 or even a little more than that. Just remember that what you earn will depend on which city or town you work in, and on the institution you work for itself.
You may also find that once you have qualified, and are working as a CNA, you choose to develop your skills further. Starting out as a nurse’s aide is a great way to get involved in the nursing or medical field, in Alabama or anywhere else, and it can be a stepping stone to other careers in the field.

CNA Programs In Alaska
If you’re looking for CNA programs in Alaska, then you’re making a good career choice. An increase in the number of assisted living facilities in the state, combined with an aging population, means that it’s now quicker (and easier) to find a job once you’re a qualified Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) than ever. Let’s take a look at how you go from thinking about it to working in the field though.
CNA Training In Alaska
In order to become a CNA or nurse’s aide in Alaska, you will need to undergo a state-approved training program. The courses are run by state training bodies, colleges, and hospitals, so you have plenty of options when it comes to where to study.
Wherever you do choose to study though, you will be required to complete the same course content. That content consists of 140 hours of study, 60 of which are classroom-based, and the remainder of which will be practical, clinical training.
What Does the Alaskan CNA Training Program Cover?
The course content of the Alaskan CNA training program is comprehensive, and ranges from basic nursing skills, like taking blood pressure correctly, to caring for patients with degenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s. Once completed, trainees will be able to competently assist an LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) or RN (Registered Nurse), administer care to patients, be able to monitor a patient’s condition, and perform many other practical and administrative functions. Being a Certified Nursing Assistant is a hands-on job, and this course prepares you for that.
Do You Qualify to Train As a CNA?
In Alaska, there’s no hard and fast rule about who can study to be a CNA. Some training facilities will let you do your training while you are still in high school, while others will require that you are 18 years old, and/or have a high school diploma before you start.
It’s therefore a good idea to ask several different training facilities what their admission requirements for their CNA programs are, and to make sure at the same time that they are state accredited.
How Do You Become a Registered CNA in Alaska?
To become a registered CNA in Alaska (a requirement if you plan to work in the state) you will need to pass the nurse’s aide competency exam, which is run by the state, and which you can take through Pearson VUE. Once you’ve passed that, you will be included on the Alaska Nurse’s Aid Registry, and that allows you to work as a CNA anywhere in Alaska.
What Does an Alaskan CNA Earn?
As we’ve already mentioned, there’s a growing demand for qualified, registered Certified Nursing Assistants in Alaska, and thanks to that demand, salaries in the state are particularly high. The average salary for a CNA in Alaska is around $31,000, which is well above the national average. This career option also has an over 35% growth rate, so there are likely to be plenty of positions to choose from.
So whether you plan to work as a CNA permanently, or are looking for a career that you can use as a stepping stone, or to pay the bills while you train to become an RN, this is a particularly good choice in Alaska.

CNA Programs in Arizona
With salaries ranging from around $17,000 to well over $30,000 per annum, and with the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) field being a definite growth area in Arizona, it’s no wonder so many people are looking for CNA programs in Arizona.
Before you make a decision about whether this is the career for you, and book a course, however, there are a few things you should know about being a CNA in Arizona.
CNA Training in Arizona
Before you can become a CNA in Arizona, you need to complete an Arizona State Nursing Board approved nursing assistant program. This program comprises 120 hours of prescribed training, in a variety of competencies, ranging from basic first aid and patient care, to medical terminology and infection control.
Training covers both practical and theoretical knowledge, which means that when you have completed the course, you should be able to handle any CNA position that you choose.
It’s important to note that you can only work as a CNA in Arizona once you have completed a post training exam, but you can usually take that exam very soon after you have completed your training.
Where Can You Get CNA Training in Arizona?
Like many other states, there are a variety of CNA training options in Arizona. You could train at a college, a hospital or through an independent training company – just make sure whichever one you choose is state approved.
Most CNA training course are around 12 weeks long in Arizona, and while most employers won’t consider applicants who are not yet 18 years old, there are training programs that you can take while you are still in high school if you choose to. This is a particularly popular choice for people who are considering becoming state licensed nurses later on.
Where Can You Work As a CNA in Arizona?
Once you have completed your training, you will need to work under the supervision of an Registered Nurse (RN), or a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), but there are several employment options.
You could work in a hospice, assisted living facilities, as a home carer, or in a hospital. There are also long term care facilities, clinics and other medical facilities that hire Certified Nursing Assistants in Arizona. There are facilities in every major city and town, so it’s entirely likely that once you complete your training, you can find work anywhere in the state.
Why Choose to Become a CNA?
If you’re wondering whether a CNA training program in Arizona is the right career choice for you, there are several issues you should consider.
Firstly, do you enjoy working with and helping people? Are you interested in the medical field? Are you looking for a career where minimal training can set you up for a relatively well paid job? If your answer is yes to all of those, then becoming a CNA in Arizona may well be a good choice for you, particularly since there are a growing number of employment opportunities in the field.

CNA Programs in Arkansas
If you’re looking into Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) programs in Arkansas, then there are several important things you need to know before you make any decisions.
The first thing you should know is that in Arkansas, a CNA is also known as a Patient Care Technician (PCT).
Who Qualifies for CNA Training In Arkansas?
If you want to train as a patient care technician or CNA in Arkansas, you don’t necessarily have to have a high school diploma or GED. Some of the training programs will accept people who are still in high school, or who did not complete it.
However, if you plan to work as a CNA in Arkansas once you are qualified and certified, you will probably need to prove that you are 18, and that you have a GED or high school diploma. Those are usually prerequisites to being hired as a CNA in the state.
What Does CNA Training in Arkansas Entail?
Like most other states, the Arkansas CNA training program incorporates several different proficiencies, including learning to take patient vital signs, changing dressings, monitoring patients, administrative skills and more.
Training covers both practical and theoretical issues related to working as a CNA, and because most Arkansas employers require you to know CPR, most courses include CPR training and certification.
Training courses last several weeks, and once you have completed your chosen course, you will still need to take the state competency exam, which is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, before you can work as a CNA.
As with most states’ CNA training programs, the amount of training required before you can start working and earning is relatively low, so if you would like to pursue a career in the medical field, buy can’t afford college right now, this may just be the stepping stone you’re looking for.
Where Can You Train as a CNA in Arkansas?
Like most other states, most community colleges in Arkansas offer CNA training. Several other governmental and non governmental organisations also offer training however, as well as some nursing homes and hospitals, and while most courses will cost you money, there are some that you can take for free.
What Are the Career Prospects for a CNA in Arkansas?
The State of Arkansas has identified Certified Nursing Assistants as one of the careers in Arkansas with long term growth potential. In fact, at present, they expect more than 20% growth in employment opportunities, all the way through 2016, so this is definitely a career with growth potential.
There are plenty of jobs out there for a qualified CNA, and that’s probably one of the reasons so many people are attracted to the profession.
What Does a CNA Earn In Arkansas
Currently, the median salary for a CNA in Arkansas is just under $20,000 per annum, but there are positions that offer more or less than that. It will depend largely on the institution, the area, and your level of experience.
However, since this is a career that offers significant potential, both in terms of industry growth, and of personal improvement and advancement within the medical field, it’s well worth considering becoming a CNA in Arkansas.

CNA Programs in California
California is experiencing an enormous growth in the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants, like much of the rest of the country. Finding the right CNA programs in California is the first step in securing a career as a CNA, so read on, and find out what you need to know before you sign up.
What Does CNA Training In California Entail?
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training in California is regulated by the California Department of Public Health, and more specifically, by a division known as ATCS, or Aide and Technician Certification Section.
Before you can take the ATCS exam, and become a certified CNA in California, you will need to undergo a state approved training program. These programs are run by several different institutions, from colleges to occupational training centers, and even certain private institutes. It doesn’t matter where you choose to study though, as long as the training provider is accredited by the Health Department.
What Is the CNA Course In California All About?
No matter where you choose to train as a CNA in California, the basic course structure will be the same.
All accredited training facilities are required to provide a minimum of 50 hours of classroom training, and a further 100 hours of clinical ‘on the job’ training, supervised by a trainer.
Your training will cover a wide range of skills, from taking patient vitals to infection control, and basic patient care to administration and monitoring skills.
What Does CNA Training In California Cost?
Typically, commercial CNA training programs in California cost between $600 and $1000, however, it is possible to get free training from certain accredited institutions in the state. In return for training and certification, CNA’s who opt for this choice will have to work a predetermined number of hours for their training institution at no cost.
If you do choose a program where you pay for your tuition, the cost of your training is likely to include everything necessary – from books to uniforms, so it’s still one of the cheaper choices out there.
How Easy Is It to Find a Job As a CNA In California?
At the moment, there’s a large, growing demand for Certified Nurse Assistants in California, and in many other states. There’s more than 20% growth expected in the demand for these healthcare professionals until 2016, and there are over three thousand new jobs created every year. This makes becoming a CNA a very attractive career option right now.
What Does a CNA in California Earn?
Current salary surveys put the salary range for a CNA in California at between $19,000 and $36,000 or more per annum. Considering the minimal training required to enter the field, and the prospect of potentially getting CNA training free in California, that’s one of the reasons so many people are considering this field.
So if you are in California, and you are considering training as a CNA, you can be assured that this is one of the best potential career choices out there right now.

CNA Programs in Colorado
Like many other states, Colorado is experiencing a boom in the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants, also known as Certified Nursing Aides. If you’re considering CNA programs in Colorado, and a career as a nurses aide, then there are a few things you should know before you make any decisions.
How Do You Qualify As a Nurses Aide In Colorado?
In order to become a nurses aide (nurses assistant) in Colorado, you need to have completed a Colorado Board of Nursing approved CNA training program.
These programs are run by private training academies, community colleges, nursing schools and homes, and even a few high schools. There are also agencies that offer free training, in return for a contract to work at a reduced rate or as a volunteer for a predetermined time after you qualify.
Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training is not the final step though. Once you’ve completed the training course itself (which lasts several weeks, and covers the state approved syllabus) you will still need to take and pass the Colorado CNA exam, which is offered by Pearson VUE. This is required, before you can accept a job as a CNA anywhere in the state.
Can You Train As a Nurses Aid in Colorado?
Anyone can train as a CNA in Colorado, and there is no requirement that you have a GED or high school diploma. There are also training programs that will accept trainees who are not yet 18 years old. However, statistically speaking, your chances of finding employment (and your potential earning power) is higher if you are 18 years or older, and have a high school diploma.
Certified Nursing Assistants who trained outside of Colorado are also eligible to work in the state, so long as they pass the Colorado CNA exam.
Are Certified Nursing Assistants In Demand In Colorado?
As with many other states in the US, there is a very definite growth in the demand for trained, Certified Nurses Assistants in Colorado. In fact, the CDLE (Colorado Department of Labor and Employment) estimates that there will be a 29% growth in demand for Certified Nurse Assistants through 2016, so this is a good profession to consider training in.
You are very likely to be able to find a job at a nursing home, hospital, clinic or hospice quite quickly after you qualify, and it’s a good way to springboard into the nursing field.
What Does a CNA Earn in Colorado?
As with most states, your earnings as a CNA in Colorado will vary from area to area, and from institution to institution. Your experience and skill will also play a role in what you can command in terms of salary. The average salary for a CNA in Colorado, however, is approximately $26,000 per annum, although newly qualified candidates are likely to earn less than that.
If you are looking for a career choice in Colorado that allows you to train quickly, become certified, and work in the medical field without spending a fortune on tuition, then becoming a CNA is certainly one very promising option.

CNA Programs in Connecticut
Whether you’ve always wanted to work in the medical field, or whether you’re just looking for a growth industry that allows you to work with people, chances are you’ve considered working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). If you live in Connecticut, then read on, as we show you what you need to know about CNA training in your state.
How Do You Train as a CNA In Connecticut?
The Connecticut Department of Public Health is responsible for the certification of all Nurse Assistants and other public health personnel in the state, and they have devised an approved course syllabus, that all candidates have to complete, in order to become a nurses aide in the state.
Approved courses cover many different aspects of the job, including no less than 16 hours of specific training in communication, patient rights, patient independence, infection control, and emergency procedures. The remainder of the training program will include twenty five key competency areas, that the state deems critical to the performance of any CNA.
How Do You Get Certified as a CNA in Connecticut?
Once you have completed your training as a CNA, through a state approved training program, you will still need to be certified before you can accept an offer of employment. You should also remember that you can only be certified if you have completed a state approved training program, so if you’re unsure about the program you are considering, always ask before you sign up.
The state requires that you complete the Connecticut CNA Competency Exam, which will evaluate your skill and understanding, within 24 months of completing the course, if you want to be certified.
Where Can You Train as a CNA in Connecticut?
The good news for people who want to pursue a career as a nurses aide in Connecticut is that there are over 150 approved training facilities in the state. These include hospitals, nursing homes, community colleges and private institutions. So no matter where in Connecticut you live, you should be close to an approved training facility.
Certain facilities (usually nursing homes, hospitals and similar institutions) also offer free training options for new CNA candidates, provided you sign a contract to work for them for a predetermined period after you qualify.
What Are the Career Prospects for a Connecticut CNA Like?
As with many other states, Connecticut is experiencing a boom in the demand for qualified Certified Nurse Assistants. Labor department estimates indicate that there will be an increase in demand of around 11% until 2016, so there are plenty of employment opportunities for both new and experienced Certified Nursing Assistants in the state.
When it comes to salaries, you can expect to earn an average of about $30,000 for a CNA or nurses aide position in Connecticut, although new trainees may find that their starting salary is less than that.
Many Certified Nursing Assistants also use their training as a stepping stone to other career options, either by training as an RN (Registered Nurse), or by pursuing home carer options. Whatever your plan is, however, CNA programs in Connecticut are well worth exploring.

CNA Programs in Delaware
With job growth in the CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) field in Delaware expected to be around 17% through 2016, there’s really no question about why more and more people are interested in Certified Nursing Assistant training in the state.
However, while there are certainly plenty of CNA training programs out there, there are a few things you should know, before you choose one.
Who Regulates Certified Nursing Assistants in Delaware?
In Delaware, the DLTCRP, or Division of Long Term Care Residents Protection, which is a part of the State of Delaware Health Department, is in charge of training, certification and regulation of Certified Nurse Assistants.
In order to become a certified nurses aid in the state, you will need to complete a DLTCRP approved training course, and pass a competency exam. Once you have done both, you will be able to accept any offer of employment as a CNA in any facility in the state.
What Does the Delaware CNA Training Course Entail?
The state approved training program for Certified Nursing Assistants in Delaware consists of 150 hours of training, which is equally divided into classroom studies, and hands on clinical training. Courses are offered by community colleges, hospitals, nursing homes, private institutions, technical high schools and adult education centers.
The course content covers everything you will need to know to successfully work as a nurses aide in the state, including infection control, anatomy, physiology, patient care, monitoring and reporting, medical terminology, working with the aged and disabled patients and more. You will also learn about reporting to an RN or doctor.
The State of Delaware requires that all CNA trainees are supervised by a licensed nurse while performing any practical clinical training.
What Special Training Will You Get As a Candidate CNA In Delaware?
The Delaware state approved CNA training programs are intensive and comprehensive, and in addition to basic patient care and administrative aspects of the job, you will receive training in communication with patients, CPR, the Heimlich maneuver, and several other specialist skills.
Delaware’s CNA training program is one of the most comprehensive out there, and special focus is placed on mentoring and assisting trainees, which means that once you have qualified, and been certified, you should be comfortable and competent enough to work in any nurses aide position in the state.
What Does a CNA In Delaware Earn?
The average or median earnings for a nurses aide in Delaware is around $28,000, although your salary will depend on which area you work, as well as the facility, and your experience and skill level.
Starting salaries may be considerably lower than that, but considering that your training and certification requirements are much lower than many other medical professions, becoming a nurses aide in Delaware is a good career choice, that offers relatively high earnings, industry growth that ensures many potential job opportunities, and a stepping stone to advance within the medical field, should you choose to.

CNA Programs In Georgia
In Georgia, as in other parts of the U.S.A, there’s a growing demand for trained, qualified and Certified Nursing Assistants. It’s therefore no surprise that more and more people are looking for information about CNA programs in Georgia and elsewhere, but there are several things you need to know before you choose a training course.
What Are the Georgia State CNA Training Requirements?
In order to qualify and work as a nurses aide in Georgia, you need to complete a state approved CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), nurses aide or Patient Care Technician (PCT) training program. You then have to take, and pass, the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program Exam. This exam is taken in two parts, and is designed to test both your knowledge and skill.
PCT programs are typically longer, and cover more information than the standard CNA training programs approved by the state, and include training in EKG and phlebotomy. Students who opt for those courses are able to apply for additional employment opportunities, and, with further training, can advance to phlebotomy or EKG technicians later on.
What Does the Georgia CNA Training Course Cover?
All Georgia state CNA and PCT courses are drawn up in accordance with the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA). They cover communications, interpersonal skills, basic patient care, administrative issues, reporting, patient monitoring and more. They’re designed to give trainees the skills required to work with and care for the aged, mentally challenged people, and patients in hospitals.
Where Can You Work With a Georgia CNA Certification?
CNA and PCT training courses in Georgia offer accreditation in terms of the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program Exam (Georgia NNAAP). That means that once you are registered, you can work as a CNA in any nursing home, hospital or clinic, or in certain home care fields. You may also be able to transfer your qualification to another state, should you move later on.
Where Can You Train to Become a CNA In Georgia?
Accredited and approved CNA courses in Georgia are offered by certain high schools, technical schools, private training facilities and nursing homes. Make sure that the course you are considering is approved before you apply though – or contact the Georgia Health Partnership if you are unsure.
What Can You Expect to Earn as a CNA in Georgia?
As with any other state, the salary range for a CNA in Georgia is broad, and will vary from city to city, town to town and institution to institution. Currently, however, the median salary for a registered CNA in Georgia is around $31,000, although starting salaries can be more or less than that.
As the US population ages, there is a growing demand for live in care facilities, which ensures that in nearly every state, becoming a CNA allows you to find a job in a growth industry, where employment opportunities are plentiful. Considering that CNA training in Georgia and elsewhere is usually a relatively short process, this could be the perfect opportunity for anyone looking to enter the healthcare field quickly and easily.

CNA Programs in Hawaii
It may surprise many who think of the island paradise of Hawaii, but like the rest of America, the population of this state are aging, and that means that there’s a definite, growing demand for qualified medical staff, including nurse’s aides.
How Do You Qualify to Work as a CNA in Hawaii?
Hawaii is one of the few states that allow you to work as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), without first completing a training course, and taking the CNA competency exam. However, you may only work in Medicare, Medicaid and State run facilities if you have been trained and certified, and while you may do the job without a qualification elsewhere, you cannot hold the title of CNA unless you are qualified.
In Hawaii, the State Department of Human Services oversees approved CNA training courses, and you will need to take one of the courses that they endorse before you can qualify as a candidate CNA.
What Does the CNA Training Course In Hawaii Comprise?
In Hawaii, the state requires you to complete a training course that includes a minimum of 100 hours of prescribed training. Those hours are divided into 30 hours of classroom training, and 70 hours of hands on, clinical training, supervised by a nurse.
How Does CNA Certification Work in Hawaii?
While you can work as a nurses aide in Hawaii without formal training, you will have limited career options, and it’s likely that you will earn considerably less, for doing mostly the same job. After you have taking a state approved training course, your next course of action should be to take the American Red Cross Nurse Aide Certification Exam. Once you have passed that exam, you will receive a State of Hawaii Certified Nurse Assistant Card. That card proves that you are a certified CNA, and allows you to work in state run and other facilities, and increases your earning power.
Where Can You Work as a CNA in Hawaii?
If you are a trained and certified CNA in Hawaii, then you can work as a nurses aide or CNA at any state, Medicaid, Medicare, or private facility. Those facilities include long term care homes, nursing homes, hospitals and more. Without training and certification, you can work for private institutions, and you can find out more on the Red Cross home page for Hawaii.
What Can You Earn as a CNA In Hawaii?
There’s a high demand for qualified and Certified Nursing Assistants in Hawaii, and the typical average salary in the state is around $29,000. A new CNA is likely to earn less than that, but there are also nurse aides in Hawaii that earn considerably more.
Remember that if you choose to work as a nurses aide without being qualified in Hawaii, you will limit your career choices, and you are likely to earn less. You can, however, choose to undergo training and certification at any time, so if you’re already working as a nurses aide, and you’d like to improve your career prospects, this is a good idea.

CNA Programs in Idaho
As with many other states, Idaho is experiencing a growth in the population of aged people. That means that now, and in the years to come, there will be a greater demand for nursing homes and assisted living facilities, and that qualified medical staff like Certified Nursing Assistants (Nurses Aides) will be in more and more demand in Idaho.
So, becoming a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) is a good career choice if you’re in Idaho, but what do you need to know before you get started?
Training as a CNA In Idaho
If you want to become a Certified Nurses Assistant or Aide in Idaho, the first step is to find a state approved training program. These programs are run by colleges, high schools, adult training centers and certain universities.
State approved CNA Programs in Idaho consist of a minimum of 120 hours of study, 40 of which will be spent in a classroom, and the other 80 in hands on, practical, clinical training.
The course covers a range of skills, from interpersonal skills and residents rights to infection control and caring for terminal patients. It will prepare you to work as a CNA in any hospital, nursing home, clinic or medical facility as a nurses aide.
Certification for a CNA in Idaho
Once you have completed the required 120 hour state approved training program for nurses aides in Idaho, you still need to take a competency exam, before you can be registered. In Idaho, the nurses aide competency exam is managed and administered by Headmaster LLP.
Why Train as a CNA In Idaho?
There’s a nationwide surge in the demand for medical staff, such as nurses aides. In Idaho, the projected growth in demand for qualified and certified nurses aides is expected to top 35% over the next several years.
That means that this is a career choice that almost guarantees you a choice of employment options, at any one of a number of hospitals, nursing homes, hospices, nursing facilities and long term care homes.
A CNA qualification is also often a stepping stone, with many Certified Nursing Aides going on to study and qualify as registered nurses or in other medical fields.
What Does a CNA Earn in Idaho?
As with many other states, the salary range for a CNA in Idaho is good, considering the limited studying required to enter this career path. Certified nurses aides in Idaho can expect to earn an average of around $22,000 per annum, although a newly qualified CNA may earn less initially. Salaries also differ depending on the city and specific facility of employment.
If you have been looking for a career in the medical field, and you like helping people, then it may just be a good idea to consider becoming a CNA in Idaho. It’s a career with good prospects, and may well get you started on a career that leads to even bigger and better things.

CNA Programs in Illinois
If you’ve been considering a career as a nurses aide in Illinois, or if you’re just looking for a career in a growth industry, then there’s a good chance that becoming a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) is a good idea.
However, before you rush out to sign up for a CNA training program in Illinois, there are a few things you should know about training and certification for nurses aides in the state.
What Training Do You Need to Become a CNA in Illinois?
The first step in becoming a Certified Nurses Aide in Illinois is to choose a training program that is approved by the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH). There’s a list of approved training centers on their website, but you can be assured that there are community colleges, adult training centers, career centers and nursing training facilities in every city, and in just about every area.
CNA Certification in Illinois
Once you have completed a state approved CNA or nurse’s aide training course in Illinois, the next step is to get certified.
That means you need to take the CNA competency exam, or the Nurse Aide Competency Evaluation, which is run by the Illinois Nurse Aide Testing Program. You will need to take, and pass, the exam within 120 days of completing your training. Once you have, you will be state certified, and able to work in any one of a number of nursing homes, hospitals and care facilities in your area, or anywhere in the state of Illinois.
Why Becoming a CNA in Illinois Now Is a Good Idea
Like much of the US, the aging population in Illinois has created a very high demand for medical care facilities, nursing homes and long term care facilities, as well as hospices. That increase in the demand for medical care means that medical professionals, like Certified Nursing Assistants, are also in demand.
In fact, the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) has estimated that there will be a 21% growth in demand for qualified and certified nurses aides in Illinois through 2016. That means that there are plenty of jobs and career options, whether you’re just entering the field, or an experienced CNA already.
What Does a CNA in Illinois Earn?
Considering that most CNA training courses last weeks, rather than years, the expected earnings for the profession in most states are high. In Illinois, a CNA can expect to earn an average salary of around $ 23,000, although you may find that you earn a little less than that starting out. Salaries also vary according to the city or area, and the institution itself, but with plenty of jobs out there for certified nursing assistants, there’s plenty of scope to be choosy.
Whether you’ve always wanted to work in the medical field, but lack the funding for med school, or whether you’re just looking for a job in a fast growing industry, becoming a CNA in Illinois is certainly a good idea, and one that’s well worth pursuing.

CNA Programs in North Carolina
There’s a huge demand for Certified Nursing Assistants in North Carolina, and elsewhere in the US. Whether you’re looking to change careers, or start a new career, this could be just what you’re looking for. Courses are reasonably priced, training takes a matter of months at the most, and with jobs plentiful in North Carolina and elsewhere, there’s never been a better time to train as a certified nurses aide.
How North Carolina’s CNA System Differs
North Carolina differs from most other states in that a Certified Nurse Aide/Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in the state does not need to be registered in order to work as a nurses aide. That having been said, however, many employers still prefer trained and certified candidates, and you’re more likely to find a job, or earn more, if you have the necessary certification.
Who Oversees CNA Training In North Carolina
The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) – Health Occupations Education Nurse Aide Office is the body tasked with overseeing the nurses aide training programs in the state. North Carolina differs here too though, because there are different ‘grades’ of training that you can apply for, that entitle you to employment in different grades too. The first, and the one recommended for a new CNA is the Nurse Aide I program.
What Can You Expect from CNA Programs in North Carolina?
North Carolina CNA courses must cover a minimum of 75 hours of practical and theoretical training. Training courses are offered by schools, colleges, nursing homes and medical facilities, as well as private companies. Just remember, however, that clinical training in the field will need to be supervised by a trained nursing professional, so make sure that’s included in the course.
The course covers everything a CNA needs to know to work as a certified nurses aide in the state – patient care, nursing, administrative and reporting issues and terminology.
Certification As a Nurses Aide in North Carolina
Although it is possible to work as a nurses aide in North Carolina without training and certification, it’s unlikely that you will get the kind of position you are looking for without them. Not being certified will limit your earning potential, and the jobs you can apply for.
Training as a CNA in North Carolina and elsewhere is relatively cheap and it’s one of the quickest programs in the healthcare field. Once you’ve completed your training, you need to take the North Carolina Nurse Aide competency exam offered by Pearson Vue and community colleges in the state. Then you will need to apply for inclusion on the North Carolina Nurse Aide I Registry.
CNA Earnings In North Carolina
Certified nurses aides in North Carolina, who have completed their training and certification, can expect to earn a little over $23,000 as the average salary, depending on their experience level, and where they work. Jobs are plentiful too, with a 30% increase in demand expected over the next five years.
So if you are looking to work as a nurses aide in North Carolina, there’s never been a better time to train or get certified.

CNA Programs in Indiana
The state of Indiana is experiencing a boom in the demand for healthcare professionals, and in the demand for certified nursing assistants in particular. In fact, between now and 2016, the Indiana Department of Workforce Development is expecting to see a 17% growth in the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants in Indiana.
So what do you need to know to get certified, and start a career as a nurses aide in Indiana? Read on, to find out!
What Do You Need Before You Can Train as a CNA in Indiana?
The good news for people who are considering becoming a nurses aide in Indiana is that while the State Health Department recommends that applicants for the various training programs have a high school diploma or GED, it’s not actually a requirement.
If you are planning to use your Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training as a stepping stone – for instance if you want to eventually train as a Registered Nurse (RN), you will, however, have to have your high school diploma before you tackle that training.
CNA Training In Indiana
State approved CNA training programs in Indiana consist of 30 hours of training in a class room, and 75 hours of in the field, clinical training under the supervision of a nurse.
Candidate Certified Nurse Assistants in Indiana learn everything from CPR to basic nursing skills like taking a patients blood pressure, and infection control to caring for terminally ill patients.
The course covers a prescribed syllabus, and will prepare a trainee for a career in a nursing home, hospital, long term care facility or any other medical environment.
Indiana CNA Certification
As with most other states, training is not the last step in becoming a CNA in Indiana. You still need to take, and pass, the CNA certification exam, that’s managed and administered by Ivy Tech Community College. Once you have done that, you will be included on the Indiana Nurse Aide Registry, and be legally able to work as a CNA anywhere in the state.
What Does a CNA Earn in Indiana?
Aside from the relatively short training and certification period, and the high demand in Indiana and the other states, the other major draw card for new Certified Nurses Assistants is that the salary you can expect to earn is relatively high for the amount of training required.
In Indiana, the average salary for a certified nursing assistant is around $23,000 at the moment, with an experienced and skilled CNA earning much more than that. What you earn will depend on your skill level and where you work, but it’s a relatively well paying job, that can also be a springboard into other careers in the medical field.
So if you’re looking for a career in the medical field in Indiana that’s quick and easy to get into, and where you can be sure your skills will be in demand, training as a CNA is a very good idea.

CNA Programs in Iowa
If you’re interested in working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Iowa, then there are a few things you should know about training and registration, before you start looking for employment opportunities.
Is Being a CNA A Licensed Profession In Iowa?
Certified Nursing Assistants, a.k.a Certified Nurses Aides or Assistants in Iowa; don’t have to be licensed in order to work. However, they do need to undergo state approved training, and register with the Iowa Health Department. As with other states, a CNA in Iowa reports to a Registered Nurse (RN).
What Does CNA Training In Iowa Entail?
The training program for Certified Nurses Assistants in Iowa is one of the shortest – at just six weeks long. You will need to make sure that the program you choose is approved by the DIA, or Department of Inspections and Appeals. During the six week course, you will cover the prescribed syllabus, which includes 30 hours of class room study, and 75 hours of clinical training.
Training for a CNA is available through several colleges and community colleges, and in Iowa, there’s even an online CNA training program. It was developed and is run by the University of Iowa, in partnership with several other local colleges. That means that it’s possible to study to become a CNA in Iowa while you’re still working elsewhere, or even if you’re not close to another kind of training facility.
What Does Registration As a CNA in Iowa Mean?
In order to be included on the Iowa Nurse Aide Registry, you will need to pass a competency exam. Inclusion on the registry allows you to work as a nurses aide in the state, and is particularly critical if you want to work in any state run facilities or hospitals.
You may be able to find work that is similar to being a CNA without training or registration, but chances are you will earn well below the average salary that a registered nursing aide will.
Getting Free CNA Training In Iowa
A good idea, if you would like to become a nurses aide in Iowa, is to look out for offers of employment from state run facilities and hospitals. These positions usually include free training and testing, as well as guaranteed employment once you are registered.
What Does a CNA In Iowa Earn?
The good news, considering the very short period for which you will have to train as a CNA, is that in Iowa, the current average salary is a respectable $28,000, although a new CNA typically earns a little less than that.
Remember that salaries also differ according to where you work. For example, you might earn more working in a hospital than a healthcare franchise.
The good news, however, is that throughout the US, there’s a large, and growing, demand for trained and registered Certified Nursing Assistants, so whether you plan to stay in Iowa, or move to another state, this is a career well worth looking into.

CNA Programs in Kansas
If you’ve been considering becoming a nurses aide in Kansas, then you’re making a good career choice! It’s a career with growing demand, training is minimal, and salaries are relatively high for the amount of study involved.
Read on to find out more about Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training and certification in Kansas, and how you can get started.
Who Oversees CNA Training In Kansas?
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment is responsible for approving CNA training courses in the state. They’re also responsible for testing and certification for new nurses aides in the state.
What Does the CNA Course Entail In Kansas?
State approved CNA training courses in Kansas are usually about 6 weeks long. During the course, candidate Certified Nursing Assistants will need to complete the prescribed syllabus, which will include a minimum of 45 hours each of class room studies and clinical training.
CNA training programs are offered in Kansas by many post high school organizations. You can study at colleges and community colleges, adult care homes and hospitals, and there is even an online training course that you can take if you can’t study full time. You will still need to undergo your clinical training in a nursing home, hospital or similar facility though, so make sure that there’s one in your area where you can complete the practical portion of your training.
There’s also a program in Kansas that allows you to claim reimbursement for your training and certification as a CNA, and it’s worth finding out whether you qualify. The Kansas State Health Department website has more details, or you can call them to find out more.
Where Can Certified Nurses Aides Work In Kansas?
Once you have completed a state approved training course, and become a Kansas certified nurses aide, you can work at several different types of institution. Long term care facilities, long term units at hospitals, nursing homes and adult care homes are just a few of the options. There are both private sector and state run facilities hiring certified nurse assistants all the time, and many states will allow you to transfer your credentials, so if you move to another state, you’ll be able to work as a CNA there too.
What Will You Earn As a CNA In Kansas?
Currently, the median salary for a qualified CNA in Kansas is $22,000 – which is below the national average. However, there’s a growing demand for Certified Nurse Assistants in the state, which means that there’s likely to be many different jobs to choose from when you complete your studies, and with increasing demand, it’s likely that average salaries will increase accordingly. There’s also every possibility that once you’ve qualified as a CNA, and got a start in the healthcare sector, that you can study further, to become an RN, a medical assistant, or in health care administration.
So if you are looking for a relatively quick, easy and cost effective way to make a start in the health care industry in Kansas, it’s well worth considering one of the many CNA programs on offer.

CNA Programs in Kentucky
If you’re interested in becoming a CNA in Kentucky (or a SRNA or State Registered Nurses Aide as they’re officially known in the state of Kentucky) then you’ve come to the right place.
There are several things you need to know before you sign up for CNA training in Kentucky, so let’s look at what those things are.
Where Can You Go for CNA Training In Kentucky?
If you want to become a certified nurses aide in Kentucky, you will need to choose a state approved training program. The good news is that there are many of these programs, throughout the state. You can find approved CNA training programs at the American Red Cross in Kentucky, as well as at community colleges, career and technical training centers, community colleges and some of the long term care facilities in the state.
What Does CNA Training In Kentucky Entail?
If you want to train to be a CNA/SRNA in Kentucky, you will need to complete the prescribed syllabus, which will be a minimum of 75 hours long, of which 16 hours will be clinical training.
There are also online training options in Kentucky, for people who cannot attend the class room training sessions for the CNA training courses in their area, but you will still need to complete your clinical training at a hospital or nursing facility. One of the best online training options for Certified Nursing Assistants in Kentucky is run by the American Red Cross, although you can choose any state approved training program.
SRNA Certification in Kentucky
After you have completed a state approved CNA/SRNA training course, you still need to pass the Kentucky Nurse Aide competency evaluation. This is a two part evaluation, which is only offered by the Kentucky Community and Technical College System.
Candidates who pass the exam are then eligible to be included on the Kentucky Nurse Aide Registry, which is jointly run by the Kentucky Board of Nursing, and the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services. Once you are registered, you are legally allowed to work as a CNA/SRNA in the state.
What Can You Earn As a CNA In Kentucky?
The average salary for a CNA/SRNA in Kentucky at the moment is around $22,000 – however, what you earn will depend on where you work, both in terms of geographical area, and the type of institution. A skilled and experienced CNA/SRNA in Kentucky can also command a fair amount more, and this is one career where there’s currently no shortage of jobs.
What Else Should You Know About Being a CNA in Kentucky?
The demand for qualified and certified State Registered Nurses Aide in Kentucky (and elsewhere in the US) is high at the moment, and due to stay that way at least until 2016. This is also an excellent way to get started in the health care industry, and many Kentucky SRNA graduates go on to study further, and become licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, nurse technicians and nurse administrators.

CNA Programs in Louisiana
If you want to work as a CNA (certified nursing assistant) in Louisiana, you will first have to complete a Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals approved CNA training program. Now is a very good time to do that, because according to government estimates, there’s going to be a 30% growth in the demand for Certified Nurse Assistants in the state between now and 2016.
Where Can You Train to Be a CNA in Louisiana?
There are many organizations and institutions that offer Louisiana state approved CNA training courses. Colleges, community colleges, healthcare training facilities and even hospitals and nursing homes offer courses. Make sure that the course you are considering is approved before you sign up though!
How Do You Qualify to Train As a CNA In Louisiana?
In most cases, if you want to train as a CNA at a community college or training center in Louisiana, you will need to have a GED or a high school diploma. The same is true for most of the courses offered by nursing homes, but there are a few that don’t require this qualification, so you may be able to find a training course if you have not yet finished high school, or didn’t receive a diploma.
What Can You Expect From CNA Training In Louisiana?
Most of the state approved certified nurses aide programs in Louisiana last between 12 and 15 weeks. During that time, you will complete a prescribed syllabus that includes practical or clinical training, as well as class room studies.
Trainees will study medical terminology, basic nursing, infection control, CPR and emergency procedures, as well as patient care and rights, among other topics. Essentially, anyone who completes the course should know everything they need to know to accept any CNA position with a hospital or nursing home in the state.
CNA Certification in Louisiana
Once you have completed a state approved CNA training course, there’s one more requirement before you can work as a nurses aide in the state. You will need to complete a two part examination (verbal or written, as well as practical.)
Examinations are administered by the Louisiana Board of Examiners of Nursing Facility Administrators, and once you have passed your competency test, you will be included on the Louisiana Nurse Aide Registry.
What Does a Nurses Aide Earn In Louisiana?
The average salary for a CNA in Louisiana is around $22,000, but new entrants to the workforce may earn less than that, depending on where they choose to work. Salaries for an experienced CNA in Louisiana can also be considerably higher than that, and considering the small investment, in both time and money that you need to make to qualify, this is certainly a good career option.
Once you are qualified as a CNA in Louisiana, you may also find that opportunities to study further open up, and it’s not unheard of for Certified Nursing Assistants to go on to be medical assistants or nurses. Since these are all among the top growth careers in Louisiana now, there’s never been a better time to choose this career.

CNA Programs in North Dakota
As with most parts of the United States of America, there’s a growing demand for trained medical professionals, including certified nurses aides in North Dakota. An older population, and more demand means that there’s a greater need for nursing homes and care facilities, and that means that finding a job as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) is now easier than ever before.
However, there are a few things you should know about CNA training and certification, before you start looking for jobs.
CNA Training Programs In North Dakota
The North Dakota Department of Health oversees the training of all candidate
Certified Nurse Assistants in the state. Approved training programs are typically 100 hours long, and consist of both practical and theoretical studies.
Where to Find Approved CNA Programs In North Dakota
CNA Programs in North Dakota are available from schools, colleges and nursing facilities. There are also approved online courses that you can take, however, you need to ensure that the practical component of the course is also included – so look for courses that offer practical training during the syllabus.
Who Can’t Train As a CNA In North Dakota?
There are certain people who cannot apply for certification as a nurses aide in North Dakota. Anyone who has had a chemical dependency problem, a mental health problem or if you’ve been convicted of a felony or lost a medical license, then you may not be able to register as a CNA in the state.
Certification and Registration As a Nurses Aide In North Dakota
If you do qualify to train as a nurses aide, and you have completed an approved training course, then the next step in the process of becoming a CNA in North Dakota is to complete the nurses aide competency exam.
Once you have passed that evaluation exam, you can apply to the North Dakota Department of Health to be included on the nurses aide registry, and that allows you to work in any state or private medical facility in the state.
Reimbursement for CNA Training In North Dakota

CNA Programs in Maine
As with many other states in the US, there’s a rapidly growing demand for qualified Certified Nursing Assistants. So whether you’re looking to launch a new career, or to make a change and get started in healthcare, this is very definitely a good choice.
Let’s take a closer look at how you go about qualifying as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Maine.
Who Is In Charge of CNA Training In Maine?
The Maine Department of Education is in charge of ensuring that CNA courses meet the state requirements. All Certified Nurse Assistants who work in Maine must have completed one of their approved courses.
Who Qualifies to Train As a CNA in Maine?
Maine has one of the lowest standards of admission for CNA training in the US. In order to qualify for training, you only need to be 16 years or older, and have completed 9th grade. You also need to be able to speak, read and write English.
It’s important to note that many people choose to use the CNA training and registration program as a stepping stone to other fields in the health care business, like nursing or medical administration. In most cases, you will need a high school diploma or a GED to study further, so if you are hoping to do that, you may want to complete your GED first.
What Can You Expect from the Maine CNA Training Course?
The CNA training program for the state of Maine is one of the most comprehensive, and longest, out there. The course consists of 180 hours of training, with about 90 hours being spent in the class room, 70 on clinical practice, and another 20 on clinical work.
The training program for nurses aides in Maine teaches candidate Certified Nurses Assistants everything they need to know to work in a nursing home or hospital. Expect to learn basic nursing skills, how to assist patients with rehabilitation, interpersonal skills, communication, patient rights and many other job specific skills.
Where Can You Study to Become a CNA In Maine?
There are many different institutions that offer state approved CNA training in Maine. You can contact the Maine Department of Education for a list of training providers, or contact community colleges, colleges, nursing homes or hospitals directly.
Also remember that in Maine, CNA’s who complete their training and pass the competency exam, and then go on to secure employment within 12 months are eligible for a refund of a portion of their training costs.
What Does a CNA Earn In Maine?
The average hourly wage for a CNA in Maine is just over $11. Many earn considerably more than that though, and many also use their time as a CNA as a springboard to other health care professions.
There’s really no quicker way to get involved in the health care business in Maine, or just about anywhere else in the US, than to train as a CNA, so if you are dreaming of a career in the medical field, this should definitely be on your list of potential career options.

CNA Programs in Maryland
According to the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation – Division of Workforce Development and Adult Learning, over the next few years, there will be an increase in the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants in the state of nearly 30%. That means that there’s never been a better time to train and qualify as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in the state. There are, however, a few things you should know before you sign up for a training program.
Where Can You Train to Become a CNA in Maryland?
In Maryland, state approved CNA training courses are offered by high schools, nursing homes, colleges and community colleges, and third party organisations, like the Red Cross. Where you study is not that important, because all of these training providers offer a similar course structure and syllabus, but it is important that you choose a state approved training program.
What Does the CNA Training Course Entail In Maryland?
CNA training courses in Maryland cover a wide range of practical and theoretical aspects of the job, from patient care and basic nursing to medical terminology and reporting and more. Courses vary in length, but typically, the number of hours of study is constant among the courses offered by various institutions.
It’s important to note, however, that no one is legally allowed to perform any basic nursing or CNA functions in Maryland, unless they have completed the course, and passed their competency exam. You cannot work in any job that incorporates basic nursing and other CNA skills unless you have completed the course, and been registered by the nursing board.
How Do You Get Certified In Maryland?
In order to become a certified or registered nurses aide in Maryland, you need to complete your training at an approved facility. You then need to pass a competency exam, and finally, you need to be registered as a CNA with the Maryland Board of Nursing. Doing all of those things will enable you to legally work as a CNA at any long term care facility, hospital or nursing home in the state.
What Does a CNA Earn In Maryland?
CNA’s in Maryland earn an average salary of around $27,000, although that will depend on where you work, and your skill level. New Certified Nurse Assistants may earn less than that to start with, but an experienced and skilled CNA can command salaries that are significantly higher than that.
It’s also worth noting that this job is one of the fastest growing in Maryland, with a very high demand among both state and private medical institutions for qualified and registered Certified Nurse Assistants. That means that once you qualify, which should take no more than a few months, you should have no trouble finding a job anywhere in the state.
So if you are looking for a career in healthcare, and you want to find a route that’s quick, relatively cost effective, and that can provide a stepping stone to other medical careers, considering a Maryland CNA training program is a very good option.

CNA Programs in Ohio
The Ohio Department of Job & Family Services estimates that there will be around 14% increase in the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants (Aides) over the next few years. That equates to over 1,800 new jobs in the field. That’s not counting the huge 48% increase in the demand for home carers – a field that a Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) also have the option of entering once qualified.
So, becoming a certified nurses aide in Ohio is a good idea. But what does it require?
STNA Training Programs In Ohio
The first thing you should know, when you start your search for CNA training in Ohio, is that in the state, a CNA is also known as an STNA (State Tested Nurses Aides).
Training programs are approved by the Ohio Department of Health. They’re offered by a variety of training providers throughout the state. Courses are offered by colleges and schools, as well as hospitals and nursing homes, but it’s important to ensure that wherever you train, the program you choose is accredited.
What Does CNA or STNA Training in Ohio Comprise?
State approved training courses for nurses aides in Ohio must comprise a minimum of 75 hours of both practical and clinical training. The course covers everything from the very basics of patient care, like feeding and bathing, to more advanced medical concepts and terminology.
All clinical training must be supervised by a medical professional, and the course syllabus must adhere to the state’s guidelines.
Reimbursement for STNA or CNA Training in Ohio
Under certain circumstances, STNA’s or certified nurses aides who train in Ohio may be eligible for reimbursement for some or all of the costs associated with your training and certification. This usually applies to Certified Nurse Assistants who are employed by Medicare or Medicaid facilities before or after they complete their training, but you may want to check with your training provider to find out if you are eligible, and how to go about claiming your reimbursement.
The STNA Competency Exam in Ohio
Once you have completed your certified nurses aide training in Ohio, the next step in the process is to complete the STNA competency exam, that is offered by D&S diversified Technologies in the state. Once you have passed that exam, you will be eligible for inclusion on the Ohio Nurse Aide Registry, that is managed by the state health department. You will also be eligible to work as a CNA in any state or private nursing home or medical facility.
Prospects and Earnings for a CNA In Ohio
The CNA field, and in particular home care, is listed as number two on the list of top 10 growth industries. That means that there’s no shortage of jobs out there for a qualified CNA in Ohio.
The average salary for a certified nurses aide in the state is about $24,000, although that will depend on where you work, and your skill and experience level. If you are looking for a job that pays well with minimal training required, and that offers job security and the possibility of advancement into other areas of the healthcare filed, then becoming an Ohio STNA is a very good place to start your search.

CNA Programs in Oklahoma
Unlike many states, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training and certification is not required for everyone who wants to work as a nurses aide in the state of Oklahoma. In fact, it’s only if you want to work in a long term care, Medicaid or Medicare facility that you need to be trained and certified.
Bear in mind, however, that in many cases, you can be reimbursed for training – making it essentially free – and that there are more (and better paying) job opportunities for qualified Certified Nurse Assistants in Oklahoma. Let’s take a closer look at training and certification though, so that you can make informed decisions about what’s best for you.
Approved CNA Training Programs In Oklahoma
The Oklahoma State Department of Health is responsible for assessing and approving all CNA training programs in the state. Make sure that the program you choose is approved by the department too – otherwise you may have trouble with certification or with reimbursements.
Where to Find Approved CNA Training Programs In Oklahoma
Government approved certified nurses aide training programs in Oklahoma are offered by schools, colleges and community colleges, and through employer programs in the state (nursing homes and hospitals.)
Evaluation and Certification for a CNA in Oklahoma
Once you have completed your CNA training in Oklahoma, you will need to pass the competency exam. Once you have done that, you can apply to be registered on the Oklahoma State Department of Health’s nurse aide registry. The evaluation does require you to pass two components – theoretical and practical, with a 70% and 80% pass rate respectively.
What Does the CNA Training Course in Oklahoma Cover?
CNA or certified nurses aide programs in Oklahoma are designed to prepare you for employment in the healthcare field. The program covers everything from patient rights to basic nursing, patient hygiene and rehabilitation, as well as many other core competencies. Once you have completed the training, you will be ready to move on to the final step in the process – evaluation and registration, and then you will be able to take any CNA job in Oklahoma.
Reimbursement for Studies Towards a CNA Qualification in Oklahoma
Like many other states, Oklahoma has a program that reimburses qualified Certified Nurse Aides for the cost of their studies, if they find employment before, or within the twelve months after they have completed their studies. Reimbursement may vary from case to case, so make sure you enquire before you begin your training program, or accept an offer of employment.
Oklahoma CNA Salary and Career Prospects
In Oklahoma, as with many other parts of the US, there is a growing demand for CNA’s and other medical staff. Currently, the growth between now and 2016 in the field is expected to be a little over 17%. The current salary average for a CNA in the state is a little under $20,000 per annum, which is below the national average, but still a respectable salary given the minimal study required.
All in all, the CNA field is one with growth potential. It’s one that requires minimal training, and that includes the possibility of free studies. Well worth it, if you’re looking to get into the healthcare field on a shoestring.

CNA programs in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, like much of the US, there’s been significant growth in the proportion of aged or aging people among the population. That growth has meant that more and more people are seeking assisted living, and that, in turn, has lead to a marked increase in the demand for healthcare professionals, like certified nurses aides.
There’s never been a better time to qualify as a Certified Nursing Assistant/Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) in Massachusetts, but before you choose a course, be sure you know the facts.
How Do You Train to Become a CNA In Massachusetts?
The only way to become a CNA in Massachusetts is to complete a training program that has been approved by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. These approved training programs are all based on the same syllabus, and designed to ensure that trainees who have completed the course have all the theoretical and practical skills necessary to work as a CNA in a Massachusetts hospital, nursing home or long term care facility.
Where Can You Train to Become a Nurses Aide in Massachusetts?
There are many different training facilities that are approved by the Massachusetts Center for Nursing. Colleges and community colleges, nursing colleges and nursing homes are just a few of the options.
How Do You Register as a CNA in Massachusetts?
Once you have completed an approved certified nurses aide course in Massachusetts, you still need to be registered as a CNA before you can begin working.
To do that you need to take, and pass, the nurse aide competency exam, which is offered by the American Red Cross in Massachusetts Bay. You will then be added to the Massachusetts Nurse Aide Registry. Remember that in order to legally work as a CNA in Massachusetts, you must be listed on this registry, and you must be in good standing.
What Are the Career Prospects for a CNA in Massachusetts?
Currently, job growth for Certified Nursing Assistants in Massachusetts is expected to be around 13% through 2016. That means that a CNA who qualifies now should have no trouble finding suitable positions in their area or city.
Many people who qualify as Certified Nurses Aides in Massachusetts go on to train as registered nurses, medical administrators or medical assistants; all of which are currently high demand occupations.
What Will You Earn As a CNA in Massachusetts?
A CNA in Massachusetts earns quite a bit more than the national average for the profession. Currently, the average salary for a CNA in Massachusetts is around $28,000, although salaries vary according to location, and according to skill and experience.
If you are looking for a career that allows you to earn a respectable salary, where you can qualify in a relatively short period of time, and where jobs are plentiful, and if you like the idea of working in the medical field, then becoming a CNA in Massachusetts may be just the solution you’re looking for.

CNA Programs in Oregon
In Oregon, there are different types of CNA qualification. We’ll be looking at the CNA-1 training program, but the other available training programs follow much the same pattern, so the information that follows should help you no matter which qualification you’re aiming for.
State Approved CNA Training In Oregon
The Oregon State Board of Nursing is the body that oversees the approval of Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training programs in the state. The good news is that there are plenty of real world and online training programs that have the OSBN’s stamp of approval, in most areas of the state, so no matter where you are, you should be close to an approved training facility. Just remember that if you plan to take the evaluation exam, and become a registered CNA, you must take an approved course – so make sure you ask.
On and Offline CNA Training in Oregon
Would be Certified Nursing Assistants in Oregon have a host of training options. Approved courses for certified nurses aides are run by high schools, vocational schools, colleges and nursing homes and other care facilities. Many also offer an online training program, that incorporates real world clinical training with internet based study, which makes it a good choice for people who are already working.
Oregon also offers reimbursement to Certified Nurse Assistant who are employed prior to training, or who find employment within 12 months of completing their training. Make sure that you enquire about your eligibility – it may just mean that you can study for free.
The Oregon CNA Training Program Syllabus
Certified nurses aides in Oregon have one of the most rigorous training programs in the country. Your studies will include a minimum of 150 hours of training, including not less than 51 hours of classroom training, 75 hours of supervised, hands on clinical training, and 24 hours of lab based studies. At the end of the program, you will have all the skills necessary to care for patients in nursing homes and long term care facilities.
During the course of the program, you will learn basic nursing skills, as well as all of the other technical, administrative and legal skills and knowledge you will need to work as a certified nurses aide anywhere in Oregon.
Evaluation and Certification for a CNA In Oregon
Like most other states, Oregon requires CNA’s to complete an evaluation before they can become registered nurses aides.
This evaluation is known as the nurse aide competency evaluation exam, and it’s a requirement if you want to register with the nursing board, or work as a CNA in the state (particularly in state, Medicare or Medicaid facilities.)
Prospects and Earnings for a CNA in Oregon
There’s expected to be an increase in the demand for trained and registered CNA’s in Oregon of around 25% over the next few years, making this a very attractive career option for people looking for scope and flexibility, as well as job security. Add to that an average salary in the state of a little over $27,000, and the minimal training you need to qualify, and this is possibly one of the most attractive healthcare jobs in Oregon at the moment.

CNA Programs in Michigan
With a nearly 15% growth in demand for Certified Nursing Assistants in Michigan expected between now and 2016, it’s no wonder that many people with an interest in the health care industry are considering becoming certified nurses aides. However, before you spend any money on a training program, there are a few things you should know about training and working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Michigan.
Where Can You Train As a CNA In Michigan?
The Michigan Department of Community Health, Bureau of Health Professions, which oversees the approval of CNA training programs, says that there are over 200 approved training centers in the state. These are offered by high schools, colleges and community colleges, nursing homes and private organizations, like the Red Cross. Where you study isn’t all that important, as long as the training program is approved.
What Does the CNA Course in Michigan Entail?
According to federal law, the minimum duration of a CNA training course is 75 hours, and it should combine both class room studies, and clinical, on the job training. The same standard applies to certified nurses aide training in Michigan, although many training programs offer additional training too.
The curriculum of any CNA course in Michigan will usually include medical terminology, basic nursing and patient care, CPR, infection control and other ‘hands on’ aspects of the job, as well as reporting, administrative issues and more. When you complete a CNA training course in Michigan, you should be ready to start working in any hospital, nursing home, hospice or any other facility.
CNA Certification in Michigan
Before you can work as a CNA in Michigan, even if you have completed approved training, you need to pass the Michigan state competency exam. You will then be able to register as a CNA in the state.
Working As a CNA in Michigan
Once you have qualified as a CNA, and taken the competency test, you will be able to work in any medical facility in the state. Hospitals, nursing homes, long term care facilities, hospices and even correctional facilities hire Certified Nurse Assistants.
Wherever you do work, however, you will be reporting to a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse, or to another health care professional, such as a doctor, occupational therapist or social worker.
If you find a job as a CNA within the 12 months after you complete your training (and with jobs in the field plentiful that’s entirely likely), then you will also be eligible for reimbursement for all or some of your studies, and even for your course materials.
What Does a CNA In Michigan Earn?
The average salary for a CNA in Michigan is around $25,600, which is not as high as some other states, but is still a respectable salary, given the speed with which you can enter the field.
Often, Certified Nurse Assistants (Aides) later go on to study further, and qualify as nurses or medical assistants, but becoming a CNA in Michigan or elsewhere is often the fastest way to begin a career in healthcare.

CNA Programs in Minnesota
Becoming a CNA or Certified Nurses Aide (Certified Nursing Assistant) is one of the quickest ways to start a career in the healthcare industry in Minnesota, and elsewhere in the US. It’s also one of the fastest growing professions in healthcare, and with more and more aging Americans moving into assisted living facilities and nursing homes, that’s likely to continue.
If you want to get started in a career in healthcare as a CNA in Minnesota, there are a few things you should know first.
Who Regulates CNA Training in Minnesota?
The Minnesota Department of Health is responsible for regulation of CNA training in Minnesota. They approve CNA training courses, and set the syllabus.
What Does the Minnesota CNA Course Entail?
At the very minimum, Minnesota Department of Health approved CNA courses will comprise of 75 hours of course material, although many offer additional training too. That 75 hours is divided into both class room studies and clinical training, and it covers a range of CNA tasks and skills, from basic nursing and CPR to infection control, medical terminology and administrative skills.
Reimbursement for CNA Training In Minnesota
If you are working for a certified nursing home or certified boarding house in Minnesota, or you have received a job offer from one, then you can receive your CNA training for free. You will need to provide your employer with receipts for your studies within 90 days of taking the course, but you will receive reimbursement for the costs.
Certified Nursing Assistants who receive an offer of employment within one year of completing their studies are also eligible for reimbursement.
Registration as a CNA In Minnesota
In order to work as a CNA in Minnesota, you need to be registered on the Minnesota Nursing Assistant Registry. In order to become registered, you need to successfully complete an approved certified nursing assistant training program, and pass the competency test.
Registration must happen within four months of completing your training and taking the competency test.
Employment Prospects and Expected Earnings for a CNA in Minnesota
A CNA in Minnesota can expect to earn a little more than the national average for CNA’s. In fact, the average salary for a certified nursing assistant in the state of Minnesota is about $26,000 per annum, although it could be more or less than that, depending on your experience, and your location.
All Certified Nurses Assistants in Minnesota must work under an RN or LPN, or another medical professional, but many also go on to study further, and become registered nurses or medical technicians themselves.
Currently, the Department of Employment and Economic Development in Minnesota estimates that there will be a 12% growth in jobs for Certified Nurses Aides in the state between now and 2016, so there are certainly plenty of jobs to be had in the field.
There’s really no quicker, easier way to get involved in the health care industry in Minnesota, or elsewhere, than to train as a CNA, and there are definitely great prospects for anyone who does.

CNA Programs in Mississippi
If you’re considering a career as a certified nurses assistant or certified nurses aide in Mississippi, then you may need to know a little more about how and where you can train, and what certification requires. Read on, to find out how you can take the quickest route to a career in healthcare in Mississippi.
What Do Employers Expect from a CNA In Mississippi?
Before you can start work as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant/Certified Nurses Aide) in Mississippi, you will need to complete an approved training program, and pass the state competency exam. Most employers also expect a CNA to have a high school diploma, or a GED.
Where Can You Train to Become a CNA In Mississippi?
Approved CNA training courses are mostly available through community colleges in Mississippi. However, there are several nursing homes and other patient care facilities that offer free CNA training to new recruits, on the condition that once they qualify, they work for the facility for a predetermined time.
CNA Certification In Mississippi
Before you can work as a CNA, certified nurses aid or certified nurses assistant in Mississippi, you will need to pass the competency exam offered by Pearson Vue in the state.
Once you have passed the exam, you are assigned a certification number, and you will receive a certification card, that allows you to work as a CNA anywhere in the state.
What Is the Job Outlook for a CNA In Mississippi?
Becoming a CNA is considered a very good career choice in Mississippi and other states, thanks to the growing demand for long term care for an aging US population. More and more nursing homes, hospices and long term care facilities are opening up, and all of them are looking for trained, competent and certified nurse assistants.
In fact, most employment statistics show that the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants will increase steadily through 2016.
A certified nursing assistant is an entry level position, that requires minimal training – usually only a few months. Advancement to higher positions in the health care field is possible, but will usually require further study.
What Does a CNA In Mississippi Earn?
Considering how quickly you can train as a CNA in Mississippi and elsewhere, the salary you can expect to earn is respectable. A CNA in Mississippi with a little experience can expect to earn as much as $36,000 per annum, although salaries do vary by area.
With salaries well above the national average, and with plenty of growth expected in this career path over the next several years, there really has never been a better time to consider a career as a certified nurses assistant in Mississippi.

CNA Programs in Missouri
Missouri is one of many US states that base their CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant or Aide) training and certification requirements on the Omnibus Nursing Home Act. If you’re considering a career as a CNA in the state, then you need to know a few facts about training and certification in Missouri before you sign up for any courses.
Who Dictates CNA Training Course Content in Missouri?
In order to qualify as a CNA in Missouri, you must complete a training course that has been approved by the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services.
What Does the Missouri Approved CNA Training Program Entail?
CNA training programs in Missouri vary in length and content, but the state has set a minimum requirement for all approved courses. Approved CNA training programs must comprise both class room training, and clinical, on the job training.
What Are the Requirements to Take a CNA Training Course In Missouri?
In order to qualify to take the CNA training course in Missouri, applicants need to be at least 18 years old. There is no requirement that you must have a high school diploma or GED, but if you plan to study further in the medical field, it will be required. Many employers will also require that you have a GED or high school diploma.
Competency Exams and CNA Registration in Missouri
Once you have completed an approved CNA training course in Missouri, you will still need to pass a competency test, that is taken in two parts – testing both practical and theoretical knowledge.
Candidate Certified Nurses Assistants who have passed the exam can then apply to be included on the Missouri Certified Nurse Aide Registry.
It should be noted that anyone who has a Federal Indicator (abuse, neglect, or misappropriation of property) or who has been listed on the Missouri Employee Disqualification List will not be eligible for registration. Since you must be registered in order to work as a CNA in Missouri, you may want to make sure of your status before applying for training courses.
Where Can You Go for CNA Training In Missouri, and Where Can You Work?
Approved CNA training courses are offered in Missouri by certain high schools, vocational and technical schools, community colleges and certain long term care facilities, as well as at certain hospitals.
Once qualified and certified, you can work at any hospital, nursing home, long term or adult care facility or hospice in the state.
What Are the Career Prospects and Expected Earnings of a CNA In Missouri?
Certified Nurse Assistants in Missouri earn an average of around $20,000 per annum, which is below the national average for this field. The state also has only an 8% projected job increase in the field, which is also considerably lower than other states.
However, since training and certification requirements are minimal for a career in healthcare, this is still a great choice for anyone who is looking to get into the healthcare industry, without spending a fortune or training for years.

CNA Programs in Montana
According to the Occupational Employment Projections Division of the Montana Department of Labor and Industry Research and Analysis Bureau, there’s going to be a 22% increase in the demand for certified nursing aides and assistants in the state between now, and 2016.
That kind of growth, coupled with the minimal investment and training required to qualify as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Montana, means that there’s never been a better time to consider this career. Before you sign up though, you do need to know a few things about becoming a nurses aide in the state.
CNA Training In Montana
The Montana State Survey and Certification Agency, or SA, oversees CNA training in the state. Approved courses are run by nursing homes, long term care facilities, hospitals and community colleges, and in the state, approved CNA training programs are known as NATCEP – Nurses Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Programs.
Make sure that any courses you’re considering taking are approved by the agency before you sign up.
What You’ll Learn During a Montana CNA Training Course
The CNA training program in Montana will differ slightly from provider to provider, but the basics are set by the state. Courses will be no shorter than 75 hours, of which 45 to 50 are classroom instruction, and a minimum of 25 are spent on clinical, hands on training.
No less than 16 hours of your training will be spent on mandatory training in infection control, patient rights, basic nursing skills, emergency and safety procedures and training, monitoring patient vital signs and other disciplines considered critical by the state. At the end of your training, you should have all the skills required of a CNA in any facility in the state.
Certification As a Nurses Aide In Montana
Training is not your final step to becoming a CNA in Montana. First, you will have to be evaluated by a training officer – a process called the MNASCC, or Montana Nurses Aide Skills and Competency Checklist. If your trainer deems you to be proficient, then you will be eligible to take the State Competency Evaluation Program or SCEP.
You will need to score between 75 and 80% on the various portions of the exam to pass, but once you have passed, you will be included on the Montana Nurses Aide Registry, and be a certified nursing assistant, who can legally work in the state.
According to Montana law, medical facilities can only hire trained and certified nursing assistants, so if you want to become a nurses aide in the state, you will need to complete the training and certification process.
Expected Earnings for a CNA in Montana
The average salary for certified nurses aides in Montana is about $21,700, which is below the national average for the career, but still not bad considering the minimal training required to enter the field. Starting salaries may also be less than that, depending on where you work, but you may be able to take additional training courses, and eventually qualify as a medical assistant or even a nurse.

CNA Programs in Nebraska
Most people think that in order to start a career in healthcare, in Nebraska or anywhere else, you need to spend years at college. That’s not true, and while it may not be one of the highest paying medical careers out there, becoming a certified nurses aide can get you started in the healthcare industry in a matter of months, and with very little investment.
Let’s take a closer look at what Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training and certification in Nebraska entails.
How Do You Qualify to Train as a CNA in Nebraska?
If you want to train as a CNA in Nebraska, there are a few prerequisites that you need to have in place before you apply. Firstly, you need to be 16 years or older. Secondly, you need to be able to speak, read, and write English. If you qualify on those grounds, then the next step is to find an approved CNA training program in the state.
State Approved CNA Training In Nebraska
In Nebraska, schools and facilities offering CNA training have to be approved by the Nebraska Department of Health. The good news is that there is state approved training available from community colleges, non profit organizations, third party training facilities, nursing homes and hospitals throughout the state, so finding an approved course near you shouldn’t be too hard.
What to Expect From Nebraska CNA Training
There are a few different CNA training options in Nebraska, unlike other states.
If you want to work in facilities that cater only to mentally handicapped patients, then there is a special 21 hour CNA training course that you can take. If you opt for this course, however, you will limit your employment opportunities to those facilities only.
All other state approved CNA training courses must be a minimum of 75 hours long. It covers basic nursing, patient care, infection control, reporting, and other aspects of the job. There’s also a mandatory additional 1 hour training module related to reporting abuse and neglect that all Nebraska trained CNA’s have to take.
How to Get Certified As a Nurses Aide In Nebraska
Once you have completed a state approved CNA training course in Nebraska, the next step is to get registered and certified. That requires you to take and pass the competency exam administered by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. When you have passed that exam (which is offered in various locations throughout the state, several times a month), you can apply to be registered on the Nebraska Nurses Aide Registry, which allows you to seek employment as a CNA anywhere in the state.
Earnings and Outlook for a CNA in Nebraska
There is expected to be a 23% growth in the demand for Certified Nurse Assistants in Nebraska between now and 2016, which makes this a career choice with good prospects. You can also expect to earn an average salary of $22,900 in the state, and you should also note that for many other nursing and medical careers in the state, a CNA certification is an entrance requirement.
So if you’re looking to get involved in the healthcare business in Nebraska, training and qualifying as a CNA is a very good first step.

CNA Programs in New Jersey
Jobs in the healthcare industry are on the increase, thanks to an increase in demand for assisted living facilities, nursing homes and other medical facilities. New Jersey is no different.
If you don’t have the time or the money to study medicine, and you’re looking for a quick and easy way to get started in a career in healthcare, then becoming a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) may be just the solution you’re looking for. Read on, to find out everything you need to know.
Who Approves CNA Training Courses In New Jersey?
In nearly every state in the US, you must ensure that you take a state approved CNA program, if you want to become a certified nurses aide. New Jersey is no different.
In New Jersey, it’s the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services (NJDHSS) that’s responsible for assessing and approving training programs for CNA’s (and other types of medical professionals.) You need to ensure that any course you sign up for is approved by the NJDHSS if you want to ensure that you can take the exam and certify later on.
Who Offers State Approved CNA Training In New Jersey?
There are many colleges, community colleges, nursing homes and other facilities that offer state approved certified nursing aide training in New Jersey. They are located throughout the state, so wherever you are, you should be able to find at least one accredited program in your area.
How Long Does the New Jersey CNA Program Take, and What Does It Cover?
The state approved syllabus for New Jersey candidate CNA’s requires you to complete no less than 50 hours of classroom training, and no less than 40 hours more of clinical training. Clinical training is hands on, and is supervised by a nurse or another trained and qualified medical professional.
The New Jersey CNA training program covers everything from basic nursing to medical terminology and more, and it ensures that candidates who complete the course are ready to work in any nursing home, hospital or long term care facility. It can also act as a stepping stone to other nursing or medical careers.
How to Get Certified In New Jersey
The final step to becoming a certified nurses aide in New Jersey, as with other states, is to take a competency exam. This competency exam is administered by Pearson Vue, and it tests both theoretical and practical knowledge and skill.
Where Can You Work, and What Can You Earn As a CNA In New Jersey?
Certified Nurse Assistants are in demand at hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and other medical facilities in New Jersey. There’s expected to be a 14% growth in demand for qualified applicants between now and 2016, so the job outlook is good.
The average salary for a CNA in New Jersey is between $25,000 and $26,000 per year, although that may vary according to experience and location. In general, however, a CNA earns a decent income with minimal training, and there’s always the option of training further, to become a Registered Nurse (RN), Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) or Nurse Administrator.

CNA Programs in New Mexico
It’s no secret that trained and qualified certified nurses aides (certified nursing assistants) are in demand in New Mexico, and elsewhere. In fact, with the growth in demand for candidates with these skills expected to top 28% in the state over the next five years, this is certainly a great choice.
There are, however, a few things you need to know about training and certification for Certified Nurse Assistants in New Mexico before you can start job hunting – so read on, and find out everything you need to know.
Who Approves CNA Training Programs In New Mexico?
All accredited Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) programs in New Mexico need to be approved by the New Mexico Department of Health. The Division of Health Improvement at the Department keeps the list of approved providers up to date, but new programs are being added all the time, so it’s worth finding out about any that you are considering before you sign up.
Why Is CNA Training Important In New Mexico?
You may have heard a rumour that you can work as a CNA in New Mexico without training or certification. However, that’s not entirely true. You may be able to find a job as a nursing aide without training or certification if you work in a private facility, but any state, Medicare or Medicaid facilities will require certification before they hire you.
People who work as nurses aides without training or certification also tend to earn much less than their certified counterparts, and with courses lasting just a few weeks to several months (depending on where and how you train) it’s worth taking the time to get certified first.
What Do CNA Training Programs In New Mexico Cover?
When you train as a certified nurses aide in New Mexico, you cover both practical and theoretical elements in your course. You will learn everything you need to know to work as a CNA in a hospital, nursing home or any other medical facility – from basic nursing to infection control, patient rights and how to work with terminally ill patients.
How Does Certification for Nurses Aides Work In New Mexico?
After you have completed a state approved training course, you still need to get certified to work as a CNA in New Mexico. That means you need to take the New Mexico Nurse Aide Competency Examination, and apply for registration.
What Are the Job Prospects for a CNA In New Mexico?
The job outlook for CNA’s in New Mexico range from 11% in the South of the state, to nearly 30% in the north, between now and 2016. That means that no matter where you live, and where you want to work in the state, you should have no trouble finding a job.
What Does a CNA in New Mexico Earn?
A certified nurses aide in New Mexico can expect to earn an average salary of around $22,500. This varies from area to area, and from facility to facility, but it’s not bad considering the limited training required to work as a CNA. You can improve these earnings later on too – but training as a medical assistant or a nurse.

CNA Programs in Utah
Like other states throughout the US, there’s a large, and growing, demand for trained and certified healthcare staff, like certified nurses aides.
Since most training courses last a matter of months, at the most, and since training as a CNA in Utah and elsewhere is cheaper than most other forms of medical training (with the possibility of studying free), this is one of the best and fastest ways to get involved in the healthcare business.
Before you sign up for a CNA training program in Utah, however, there are a few things you should know.
State Approval for CNA Training Programs in Utah
Like most other states in the US, if you want to train as a certified nurses aide in Utah, you need to ensure that the program you choose is approved by the state. In Utah, approval for CNA classes is the domain of the Utah Nursing Assistant Registry, so if you are looking for courses, make sure they are accredited by that body before you sign up.
Where to Find Approved CNA Training Programs in Utah
The good news is that there are many institutions, throughout Utah, where you can find accredited training programs. These include dedicated CNA training centers, technical and vocational schools, community colleges, nursing homes and high schools. Where you study doesn’t matter, as long as the course you choose is state approved.
Course Contents for CNA Training In Utah
The Utah Nursing Assistant Registry also sets the curriculum for training courses, and all approved courses will cover the mandated number of hours of training required by the state. That training is divided into clinical training (supervised by a nurse or medical professional), lab based studies, and class room study.
Course modules cover a wide range of skills you will need when employed as a CNA in Utah, including infection control, emergency procedure, patient rights, communication and interpersonal skills, patient care, basic nursing and more. When you have completed the course, you will be equipped to work in any nursing home, long term care facility or hospital in the state.
CNA Certification in Utah
In order to become a certified nurses aide in Utah, you need to pass the Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Program (NATCEP). The exam assesses both practical and theoretical knowledge, in two parts, and the pass mark for both is in excess of 75%. Once you have passed that examination, you can apply for inclusion on the Utah Nursing Assistant Registry, and once you’ve done that, you’re legally allowed to work as a CNA in the state.
Salary and Employment Prospects for a CNA in Utah
The average salary for a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) in Utah is a little over $22,000 per annum, although many experienced Certified Nurse Assistants earn more than that! There’s also a huge 37% growth in the demand for CNA’s expected by the Utah Department of Workforce Services between now and 2016, so jobs are plentiful.
Add to that the fact that the state complies with federal laws regarding reimbursement for studies, and that if you find a job within 12 months of training, you may be eligible for full or partial reimbursement of the cost of your studies, and it’s clear why this is a popular career choice at the moment.

CNA Programs in Vermont
It’s no surprise that plenty of people want to train and work as Certified Nursing Assistants, in Vermont and elsewhere. There’s a large (and growing) demand for this type of healthcare staff, training requirements are some of the lowest in the healthcare business, and there are plenty of opportunities for further study later on.
A nurse aide who has completed an accredited nurse aide training curriculum and testing is considered certified and called a certified nurse aide or CNA. In the state of Vermont, however, a nurse aide who has completed licensing requirements is considered a Licensed Nurse Aide or LNA. The aide becomes licensed once she passes a competency evaluation and is listed on the Vermont Nurse Aide Registry.
Free nurse aide training in Vermont is also possible. A nursing facility in Vermont that is federally certified with the Medicare and Medicaid programs cannot charge a LNA for education and training. These students can work with their facility administrator to achieve reimbursement for their schooling. LNAs can attend training at a hospital, a long-term care center, a community college, a high school, and even the American Red Cross. Many find that this is a head start when considering advanced nursing careers.
However, before you rush to sign up for the first LNA/CNA training program you can find in Vermont, there are a few things you should know about CNA training classes and certification.
Find CNA Programs Approved By the Vermont State Board of Nursing
The very first step in the process of becoming a CNA in Vermont is to ensure that the training program you’re considering is approved by the Vermont State Board of Nursing – they’re responsible for accrediting training programs, and for setting the course curriculum.
If you train through a program that is not Vermont State Board of Nursing approved, chances are you will not be able to get certified, and you will lose your investment.
Where to Find Approved CNA Training In Vermont
There are Vermont state approved training programs for nurses aides and assistants throughout the state. Approved programs are offered by many nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities, hospitals, career centers, colleges and private facilities, so no matter where you are in the state, there should be one nearby.
What You Will Learn During a Vermont CNA Training Course
In Vermont, and in most other states, CNA training is mandatory, and the body that approves training programs also sets the syllabus. That syllabus is divided into practical and theoretical training, that happens over the course of several weeks or months (depending on the course you choose.)
Training includes all of the skills you will need to work as a CNA in Vermont, and covers things like basic nursing, medical terminology, patient rights, emergency procedure and infection control, among other crucial skills.
You may find that if you find a job (before or in the year following your training) as a CNA, particularly with a Medicare or Medicaid facility, you are eligible for full or partial reimbursement for your studies.
CNA Certification in Vermont
Before you can take a job as a certified nurses aide in Vermont, and after you have successfully completed a state approved training program, you will need to pass the LNA (Licensed Nurses Aide) competency exam. This exam is offered and administered by D&S Diversified Technologies in the state, and it tests both practical and theoretical skill and knowledge.
Once you have passed that exam, you can apply for inclusion on the list of licensed nurses aides that the Vermont State Board of Nursing keeps, and once you’re registered there, you can work as a CNA in the state.
Vermont CNA Salary and Career Outlook
Like most states, there’s a growing demand for Certified Nurse Assistants in Vermont. At present, the State of Vermont Department of Labor estimates that there will be an increase of 13% in demand between now and 2016, making this one of the faster growing career options in the state.
CNA, LNA, orderlies and other careers for which you will require CNA certification currently earn an average of around $25,000 in the state, and given that there’s a chance you could train for free, that’s a very respectable salary range.

CNA Programs in Pennsylvania
With an increase in the demand for healthcare professionals throughout the US, it’s no surprise that people in Pennsylvania and elsewhere are looking at the sector with renewed interest.
If you’re looking to get involved quickly and easily, then training to be a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) or certified nurses aide may just be the answer you’re looking for, however, there are a few facts you will need to know before you start.
Do You Qualify to Train As a CNA in Pennsylvania?
Before you start thinking about training as a certified nurses aide in Pennsylvania, it’s worth knowing that there are restrictions on who can train and register in the state.
You will need to have a criminal record check done, you will need to be between 16 and 18 years old at a minimum (most employers will only hire CNA’s who are 18 years or older.) You will need to have a full medical (you may not qualify if you have a communicable disease), and you will need to have basic literacy and numeracy skills, at a minimum.
If you meet all those criteria, then you will be eligible to train as a CNA, and register with the state health department.
Who Approves CNA Training Programs In Pennsylvania?
The next step in training and qualifying as a CNA in Pennsylvania is to find a state approved training program. These programs are approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and you will need to ensure that the course you choose is accredited by them.
Pennsylvania CNA Certification and Evaluation
After you have completed a Pennsylvania state approved certified nurses aide training program, the next step in qualifying is to take the CNA examination, which is run by Pearson Vue in the state. Passing this exam will make you eligible for inclusion of the list of registered Certified Nurse Assistant in the state.
Where to Work As a CNA In Pennsylvania
As with many other states in the US, there’s a growing demand for certified nurses aides at hospitals, nursing homes, long term and adult care facilities, and other medical institutions and facilities. These can be state run or private, and there’s no shortage of jobs available. In fact, the Pennsylvania Center for Workforce Information and Analysis estimates that there will be an increase in the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants in the state of around 14% over the next few years.
Free Training, Good Salary Expectations for a CNA in Pennsylvania
As with other states, CAN’s who have secured employment before training, or in the year after they qualify may be eligible for partial or full reimbursement of their training and certification fees. Considering that you can also expect to earn an average of around $25,000 per annum as a certified nurses aide in the state, there’s really no quicker, easier or cheaper way to get started on a career in healthcare.

CNA Programs in South Carolina
If you’ve been considering training as a certified nurses aide in South Carolina, you’ve made a good choice. Career prospects are good in the state and nationally, training is very short, comparatively speaking, and there’s a good chance you will be reimbursed in full or in part for your studies if you find a job within a year of training.
State Approved CNA Training in South Carolina
Like most other states, if you want to become a registered CNA in South Carolina, you will need to complete a state approved training course first. Training programs are approved by the South Carolina Department of Health & Human Services, and you should remember that not all Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training programs are state approved, so make sure you check first.
Where to Find State Approved CNA Training in South Carolina
In South Carolina, you can find approved certified nurses aide training programs at career centers and private training schools, nursing homes and hospitals, colleges (including technical colleges and community colleges), and at certain high schools.
How Long Will I Train As a CNA in South Carolina?
The state approved CNA training program in South Carolina has been designed to teach you all the basic nursing, emergency care, patient care and right, medical terminology and other important skills you will need, when you work as a certified nurses aide in the state. Once you have completed the course, you should know enough to walk into a job as a CNA anywhere in the state, and cope very well with the job.
In order to do that, the state mandates that you need to have 80 clock hours of training, made up of classroom studies, lab work and supervised clinical training.
What You Need to Get Into CNA Training In South Carolina
It’s not technically a state requirement, but most CNA training programs will require you to have a GED or a high school diploma in order to sign up. You don’t need a job offer as a CNA first though, although if you do have one (or get one within 12 months of training) particularly from a Medicare or Medicaid facility, you may be eligible for reimbursement for your training and certification.
Registering as a CNA in South Carolina
Before you can start working as a CNA in South Carolina, you need to be registered on the South Carolina Nurse Aide Registry. To do that, you need to take the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program examination, which is offered by Pearson Vue in the state. Once that’s done, you can apply for registration, and start working as a nurses aide.
Prospects and Earnings a CNA in South Carolina
According to the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce, there is going to be an increase in the demand for nurses aides in South Carolina of nearly 20% between now and 2016. That means that finding a job once you’re qualified and certified should be no trouble at all.
Median salaries for Certified Nurse Assistants in the state are around $21,000, although some CNA’s earn considerably more than that.

Read on to find out more about how you can do just that.
Approved South Dakota CNA Training
The South Dakota Board of Nursing is the body tasked with approving Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training programs in the state. If you plan to get registered as a CNA in South Dakota, you must complete a program that has state approval, so make sure you check before you sign up.

The Syllabus of State Approved CNA Training Programs in South Dakota
The exact syllabus and content of the certified nurses aide training program you choose in South Dakota may differ from other programs, but the state does set minimum training requirements, that all approved programs must adhere to.
In South Dakota, that minimum is 75 hours, of which a minimum of 16 must be supervised clinical training. The remainder of the program is made up of theoretical studies in a class room, and laboratory based studies.
The courses are designed to ensure that successful candidates, who go on to register as Certified Nurse Assistants in the state can cope with a job in any nursing home, hospital or facility, and it covers everything from patient rights to basic nursing, and a whole lot more.
It is worth noting that because this is a professional healthcare role, certain training facilities and employers will not accept applicants who do not have a GED or high school diploma (although that varies), and most will require you to be 18 or older.
State Reimbursement for CNA Training In South Dakota
In accordance with federal law, CNA trainees who complete their studies and certification may be eligible for reimbursement for the cost of their studies once they find employment. Be sure to check whether you are!

With an increase in jobs for Certified Nursing Assistants at nearly 17% over the next five years, according to the South Dakota Department of Labor, there’s no shortage of opportunities for certified nurses aides in the state at the moment.
Considering that the average salary for a CNA in South Dakota is a little over $25,000, and that training periods are relatively cheap, there’s never been a better time to consider a career in healthcare!

CNA Programs in Tennessee
If you’re looking for a career change, or to launch a new career, and you’ve been thinking about getting into the healthcare business, you’re looking in the right place.
The healthcare business, particularly nursing homes, long care facilities, and adult care facilities are springing up throughout the US, and some of the most in demand skills are for certified nurses aides, and other entry level staff.
It’s quick and easy to get started in a career as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Tennessee and elsewhere, but there are a few things you will need to know before you get started.
State Approved CNA Training Programs in Tennessee
The first step in becoming a CNA in Tennessee, like most other states, is to undergo a certified nurses aide training program. In Tennessee, you need to make sure that the program you choose is approved by the State of Tennessee Department of Health. If it’s not, you may not be eligible to take the exam required for certification, or to register on the state directory.
The CNA Training Program in Tennessee
The CNA training program in Tennessee is based on 25 core competency skills, and state approved programs are no shorter than 75 hours. Of those hours, training will be divided into hands on clinical training, class room studies and lab training. A further 16 of those hours must cover state mandated patient rights, emergency procedures and other critical skills.
Training programs may be longer than the state approved course, but they cannot be shorter. Once you have completed a state approved CNA training program, you should also be able to cope with any certified nurses aide position in any state or private healthcare facility in the state.

According to federal law, any state funded training facility for CNA’s in Tennessee has to offer new certified nurses aides who train and qualify, and are then employed as CNA’s reimbursement for all or some of the cost of their studies and certification. Make sure you ask about the reimbursement program, so that if you are eligible, you can apply.
CNA Certification in Tennessee
After you have completed a state approved certified nurses aide training program in Tennessee, the next step is to pass the competency exam administered by Diversified Technologies LLP in the state. The competency exam will test your knowledge of no less than 5 (random) skills of the 25 critical skills you have trained in. Once you’ve passed the exam, you will be legally allowed to use the title CNA, and to accept certified nurses aide positions in the state.
Average Tennessee CNA Salary and Career Prospects
With an 18% growth expected in the demand for Certified NurseAssistants in Tennessee, which is higher than the national average expected between now and 2016, there’s no shortage of jobs available for newly trained certified nurses aides.
The current average salary earned by a CNA in the state is a little over $21,000, but with a short training course, the possibility of training for free, and plenty of jobs on offer, this is still one of the quickest and easiest ways to get involved in the healthcare business in Tennessee.

CNA Programs in West Virginia
Most people already know that healthcare is one of the fastest growing industries in the US today. West Virginia is no different, and if you’ve been looking for a way to launch a career in healthcare without spending a small fortune, then a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training program may be just what you’ve been searching for.
As with other states, however, there are a few things you need to know about becoming a trained, certified nurses aide in West Virginia, so read on before you get started.
The Difference Between a CNA in West Virginia and Elsewhere
Before we look at how you can become a CNA in West Virginia, you should know that in West Virginia, a CNA is not called a Certified Nurse Assistant. Instead, the correct term in the state is Registered Long-Term Care Nurse Aides. The title may be different, however, but the job is very much the same.
State Approved CNA Training in West Virginia
The first step in becoming a Registered Long-Term Care Nurse Aide in West Virginia is to find a training class that has been approved by the West Virginia Office of Health Facility Licensure and Certification – Long-term Care Nursing Assistant Program Office. Courses that are not approved may render you ineligible to become certified or registered, so make sure before you sign up.
Where to Find Approved CNA Training in West Virginia
There are several options for CNA training in West Virginia, but the most common is to train in a nursing home or long term care facility. Most areas have at least one that offers a state approved training program, so that should be your first place of inquiry.
If you can’t find a nursing home or care facility in your area that offers West Virginia state approved CNA training, or if you prefer to train in an academic setting, then there are also colleges and vocational schools that offer approved training programs. Certain high schools also offer training programs to their students.
The CNA Training Program in West Virginia
According to the state approved training syllabus for CNA’s in West Virginia, you will need to complete a course that consists of no less than 120 hours of training. 65 of those hours will be spent in a classroom, learning terminology, processes and other theoretical skills, and 55 hours will be spent on supervised clinical training in a Medicare or Medicaid facility, learning basic nursing and other practical skills.
Eligibility for CNA Training and Certification In West Virginia
Anyone can train to be a CNA in West Virginia, but only people who meet the requirements for the job can take the competency exam, that is a requirement for certification in the state.
Some courses will accept applicants who do not have a GED or high school diploma, but many do not. Many employers will also require this. People who are not eligible to become a CNA in West Virginia include those who have been convicted of a crime (particularly those related to abuse or sexual offences.)
Anyone else who has completed a state approved training course, and passed the nurses aide exam, can become a registered nurses aide in the state.
Prospects and Earnings for Certified Nurse Assistants in West Virginia
The expected average salary for a CNA in West Virginia is a little lower than the national average, at around $19,800. However, there is a 14% job growth expected in the state, and because this is one of the quickest and easiest ways to get started in healthcare in West Virginia.

CNA Programs in Wisconsin
With expected growth in the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants in Wisconsin expected to be around 13% between now and 2016, there’s never been a better time to find a job as a nurses aide in the state.
Before you can, however, you will need to undergo Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training and certification, and if you plan to do that, there are several things you should know first.
State Approval for CNA Training in Wisconsin
Like most states in the US, Wisconsin is responsible for setting it’s own CNA training standards, and for approving CNA training programs in the state. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services – Division of Quality Assurance is the body responsible for approving and reviewing training programs for nurses aides in the state, so the first thing to do is ensure that whatever CNA class you choose is accredited by them.
It’s important to note that there are currently no online classes or distance learning programs that are approved by the state, and that if you sign up for one of those, you will probably not be eligible for certification.
Where to Train As a CNA in Wisconsin
There are state approved CNA training programs in most counties in Wisconsin. They are typically offered by nursing homes, colleges and community colleges, vocational schools and private institutions.
It doesn’t matter which of the available training options you choose – as long as they are approved by the state of Wisconsin, so always ask before you sign up.
The CNA Training Program in Wisconsin
In Wisconsin, the state approved training program for candidate CNA’s consists of a total of 120 clock hours, 32 of which is devoted to supervised clinical training.
The program covers everything you will need to work as a certified nurses aide in the state – from communications skills required by the job, to basic nursing, working with patients affected by dementia and more. In fact, once you have completed the program, you should be competent to work as a nurses aide anywhere in the state.
CNA Certification in Wisconsin
Before you can accept a job offer as a nurses aide in Wisconsin, even after you have completed CNA training, you will need to pass the NNAAP or National Nurse Aide Assessment Program, which is run in the state by Pearson Vue. The exam tests both practical and theoretical skills, and once you have passed it, you will be eligible for registration.
Prospects and Earnings for Certified Nurse Assistants in Wisconsin
Thanks to an aging population, there’s a surge in the demand for trained medical staff, like nurses aides, in Wisconsin and elsewhere in the US. That means that jobs are easier to find, and more secure than in many other industries.
Add to that the relatively short training and certification period, and an expected average salary of just under $25,000 for a CNA in Wisconsin, and it’s no wonder that this is one of the most attractive healthcare career options in the state at the moment.

CNA Programs in Texas
If you are looking for a quick and easy way to get into the healthcare industry in Texas, you’ve probably heard that Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training is the way to do it. That’s certainly true, and becoming a certified nurses aide opens all kinds of doors for you – but you still need to know a few things before you train.
Approved Training for Certified Nursing Assistants in Texas
The Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services is the body tasked with approving CNA training programs in the state. If you plan to become a registered CNA in the state, or work as a CNA in Texas, your first course of action is to ensure that the program you’re considering is approved.
Finding Training to Become a CNA in Texas
There are training facilities and programs that are state approved throughout Texas. You can find programs at schools, colleges and medical facilities. You may also find that the programs you do find use one of the other terms for CNA – patient care technicians, home health aide or hospital attendants. As long as the course you’re interested in is state approved though, you can be assured that you will be able to register as a CNA.
What You Will Learn During CNA Training in Texas
The state approved training program for CNA’s in Texas is designed to give you all the skills you will need to work as a certified nurses aide anywhere in the state. You will learn everything from taking vital signs to preparing meal trays, seeing to patient hygiene, medical terminology and more. The course requires that you do both classroom studies, and clinical, hands on training, usually under the supervision of an LVN or RN.
Texas CNA Certification
Just like most other states, CNA’s in Texas have to pass a competency exam before they can apply for certification. When you pass the exam (which tests practical and theoretical knowledge) you will receive a paper certificate, and be included on the Texas Nurse Aide Registry.
Certification opens the door to any CNA jobs in the state. You can apply for jobs at nursing homes, hospitals, long term care facilities, rehabilitation facilities and other medical institutions once you have registered.
Further Studies for Certified Nurse Assistants In Texas and Elsewhere
Many people who train as a CNA, and become registered certified nurses aides, in Texas and elsewhere, use their training as a stepping stone to other careers in healthcare. Some train to become RN’s, while others pursue degrees in hospital administration or management. Whatever you choose, it’s a good, quick and easy way to get started in the field.
Texas CNA Salary
The average salary for a CNA in Texas is around $28,000. Not bad for a career that only requires a few months of training! You may find that your salary is a little lower while you get started though, and salaries do vary from city to city and area to area.

CNA Programs in Wyoming
You may have noticed that there are plenty of job offers for certified nurses aides in Wyoming. That’s because this is one of the fastest growing demand areas in healthcare – not just in Wyoming, but throughout the US.
Before you rush out to sign up for Certified Nurse Assistant (CNA) classes, however, there are a few things you need to know about becoming a nurses aide in Wyoming.
State Approval for CNA Training Programs in Wyoming
Like most states, Wyoming requires that Certified Nursing Assistant training programs meet a few minimum requirements in terms of content and curriculum. In order to ensure that they do, the Wyoming Department of Health Office of Health Care Licensing and Surveys is tasked with assessing and approving all nurses aide training programs in the state.
Unless the program you choose is state approved, you cannot become a certified nurses aide in the state of Wyoming, so make sure that’s the first question you ask about any course.
What Do State Approved CNA Training Programs In Wyoming Teach You?
The course structure and syllabus for state approved CNA training schools in Wyoming is designed to teach you everything you need to know to work as a nurses aide anywhere in the state.
Programs are offered by colleges, high schools, nursing homes and private training institutions in the state, and you’re free to choose any one that’s convenient for you – as long as it has the Wyoming Health Department’s stamp of approval!
There’s also a program in the state that offers reimbursement for CNA training, in accordance with federal law. That means that if you already have a job offer to become a CNA in Wyoming, or you find a job within a year of training, you may be able to study for free.
CNA Certification in Wyoming
As with most other states, CNA training in Wyoming is only the first step in becoming a licensed nurses aide in the state. Even after you complete an accredited training program, you still need to pass the NNAAP competency test, before you can register.
The NNAAP or National Nurses Aide Assessment Program is an exam in two parts, that tests your practical and theoretical skill and knowledge, and once you’ve passed it, you can apply for inclusion on the Wyoming CNA Registry, and for any state or private CNA jobs in Wyoming.
Prospects and Salary for a Wyoming CNA
There’s expected to be more than 22% increase in the demand for trained and certified nurse assistants in Wyoming between now and 2016, which makes this a career choice with plenty of scope.
Average salaries for Certified Nursing Assistants in Wyoming are also very respectable, given the limited training required, and you can expect to earn an average of around $26,000 per year, depending on your skill level, and where you find a job.
Many CNA’s also find that they can use their certification as a springboard into other areas of healthcare, whether they choose the clinical side of things, and become a RN, or whether they opt for a management or administration career.

CNA Programs in Virginia
With the growing demand for quality healthcare, and an aging population in the US driving demand for healthcare staff, it’s no wonder more and more people in Virginia and elsewhere are considering a career as a certified nurses aide.
However, while training is relatively short, quick and easy to complete, there are a few things you should know before you attempt to become a CNA in Virginia.
Find a Virginia State Approved CNA Program
The first important thing you should bear in mind, when looking for routes to becoming a CNA in Virginia is that only people who complete a state approved training program are eligible for certification.
Not all Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) programs in Virginia are approved or accredited, so make sure that you ensure that the program you choose has the Virginia Board of Nursing stamp of approval before you sign up.
Where to Train As a CNA in Virginia
You can find state approved training programs for Certified Nurse Assistants throughout Virginia. Training is offered by nursing homes and medical facilities, vocational training centers, colleges and certain high schools. The important thing to remember is that you should only ever sign up for state approved training programs.
The Curriculum for Virginia CNA Training Programs
When you sign up for a state approved certified nurses aide training program in Virginia, you can expect to learn everything you need to know to function in the position of CNA once you are qualified. Course modules cover everything from basic patient care (toileting, feeding and hygiene), to basic nursing, taking and recording vitals, interpersonal and communication skills, and medical terminology, among other skills.
Virginia state approved CNA training programs must be no less than 120 hours. The syllabus comprises classroom and lab studies as well as clinical training, but students are only allowed to begin practical training, under the supervision of a nurse, after they have completed 24 hours of training.
Virginia CNA Certification
Like other states in the US, CNA training is not the final step in becoming a nurses aide in the state of Virginia. Once you have completed a state approved training program, you still need to pass the National Nurse Aide Assessment Program examination (NNAAP exam). The exam tests both practical and theoretical knowledge, and it’s only after you have passed that test that you can apply for registration with the Virginia Nurse Aide Registry and work as a CNA in the state.
Virginia CNA Salary
According to the Virginia Workforce Connection, there will be an increase in the demand for Certified Nurse Assistants of over 30% over the next few years. That means that there’s no shortage of vacancies in the field!
A CNA in Virginia earns on average a little over $22,500 a year, although the area you work in, your experience, and several other factors could increase or decrease that. Considering that training requirements are plentiful, and jobs are widely available, coupled with further training prospects, and the federal reimbursement program for CNA trainees, this is one of the best career choices in healthcare at the moment.

CNA Programs in Washington DC
You may have heard that the demand for Certified Nursing Assistants in Washington DC is likely to be nearly 10% between now and 2016. You may have heard that this is one of the fastest, cheapest and easiest ways to get into the healthcare industry.
All of that is true, but there are a few things you need to know about training, registering and working as a certified nurses aide in Washington DC, before you sign up for any classes.
State Approved CNA Training Programs in Washington DC
In Washington DC, you may be eligible to take the certification exam and register as a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) if you’ve already been working as a CNA or in a related capacity. However, for most new CNA’s, the first step in becoming a nurses aide in Washington DC is to find a state approved training program.
In the District of Columbia, the organisation responsible for approving CNA training programs is the District of Columbia Department of Health – Health Care Facilities Division, so make sure that they have accredited the course you are considering before you apply.
What to Expect from Washington DC CNA Courses
The state approved training syllabus for CNA’s in Washington requires that candidates complete no less than 120 hours of training (although programs may offer more training if they choose to.) Of those 120 hours, 45 hours each will be spent on classroom studies and practical training, and 30 will be spent on lab based studies.
The course covers all the basic nursing, patient care and administrative skills you will need to work as a CNA in the state, so once you have completed a training program, you should be able to cope with any certified nurses aide job in Washington DC.
Washington DC CNA Certification
Before you can begin working as a CNA, or call yourself a certified nurses aide in Washington, you will also have to pass the National Nursing Assistant Assessment Program (NNAAP™) Examination. The exam covers both practical and theoretical assessment, and once you have passed it, you can apply for registration with the District of Columbia Nurses Aide Registry, and with the DC Board of Nursing.
Examinations are offered by Pearson Vue and the Red Cross in Washington DC.
Reimbursement for CNA Training In Washington DC
If you have already got a job offer to become a CNA at a Medicaid or Medicare facility, or if you get one in the 12 months following your training, then you are eligible to apply for reimbursement in accordance with federal law for your studies to become a CNA in Washington DC. Essentially, that means that it’s possible to get trained and certified for free.
Job Opportunities and Salaries for a CNA in Washington DC
There are a growing number of job openings for trained and certified nurses aides in Washington, and the state average salary for this career is around $27,000 per year, although that varies from area to area, and facility to facility.
There’s also the possibility of further training as a nurse or in administration once you have become certified, so it’s a good way to get involved in the healthcare business quickly, easily, and cost effectively.

CNA Programs in Washington
In Washington, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) can also sometimes be known as Nursing Assistant Certified (NAC). Whatever you call it though, there’s a big demand for trained and certified nurses aides in Washington and elsewhere.
Training is relatively quick, salaries are relatively high, and by following a few simple guidelines, you can start a career as a certified nurses aide in Washington within just a few months.
State Approval for CNA Training Programs in Washington
Like other states in the US, the State of Washington requires anyone who would like to become a CNA to complete a state approved training class. In Washington, the body tasked with approving training programs is the Washington State Department of Social & Health Services.
You should note that not all training programs for nurses aides in Washington are approved, and if you choose one that is not, you may not be eligible for certification.
Where to Find State Approved CNA Training In Washington
Approved nursing assistant programs in Washington are run by nursing homes, colleges, vocational schools, high schools and hospitals. There are also a number of state approved private CNA training schools in the state. As long as you choose one of the approved training programs, it doesn’t matter where in Washington you train, or at which training facility, so choose whichever is most convenient for you.
The CNA Training Program Syllabus in Washington
The Washington State Department of Social and Health Services sets the minimum CNA training syllabus for approved training facilities, and while some offer additional training, all accredited programs must at least cover the course set out by the state.
The syllabus for CNA trainees in Washington is much like that of other states – there is practical and theoretical training, clinical training is supervised by a nurse, and the course covers everything from basic nursing to communications skills and more. One notable addition to the training program is that the state requires that 7 of the 35 classroom hours required must focus on AIDS awareness and training, and 40 of the 50 prescribed clinical training hours must happen in a real clinical setting.
The upside to the rigorous syllabus set by the state is that once you have completed your training, you will be able to work in any nursing home, hospital or medical facility with ease.
CNA Certification in Washington
Before you can call yourself a CNA in Washington, and accept a job as a nurses aide, you first need to pass the OBRA exam. This is a competency test that tests your practical and theoretical knowledge, and once you have passed it, you are eligible for registration on the nurses board, as a qualified certified nurses aide.
Prospects and Earnings for Certified Nursing Assistants in Washington
A CNA in Washington currently earns an annual average salary of around $26,000. Jobs are plentiful too, and the demand for certified nurses aides is expected to increase around 22% between now and 2016. So if you’ve been looking for a quick and easy way to get into healthcare, this may just be the route to take.
It’s also worth noting that many Certified Nurse Assistants later go on to train as Registered Nurses (RN), or in hospital administration, so this is a good stepping stone to bigger things.

The program covers a wide range of topics related to working as a nursing assistant in the state, from communications and interpersonal skills, to patient rights and basic nursing skills.
Where Can You Train As a Nursing Assistant In Rhode Island?
Like most states, you can train as a CNA at high schools, vocational schools, colleges and community colleges, as well as nursing homes and certain hospitals throughout the state. The only criteria you need to worry about is whether the training program is state accredited or not.

Certified Nurse Assistant Continuing Education
It is mandatory for licensed nurses to undertake a given number of continuing education courses for the purpose of license renewal. Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs) are no exception and continuing education is required by respective states boards of nursing. The actual number and type of Continuing Education (CE) courses however, vary from one state to the next. Some states have also stipulated Continuing Education Units (CEUs) required for re-certification for each nursing professional including every practicing CNA, Registered Nurse (RN) and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN).
CNA Continuing Education Requirements
A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) must renew their nursing licenses every two years. In this case, almost all states require that the certified nurse aide take a total of 12 hours in-service CNA training each year. This totals to about 24 hours of continuing education contact hours for eligibility of license renewal.
As a matter of balance, CNAs are advised to take one continuing education course, equivalent to one contact hour each month. This translates to 24 months due for license expiration.
Featured CNA Continuing Education Courses
Although there may be state specific CE courses needed for licensure, not all CEUs are stipulated. The states may choose some while allowing the CNA to choose the remainder. Continuing education units range from advancing of practical nursing concepts and skills to learning of new state rules and regulations pertinent to nursing. It enables nurse to get acquainted with the latest policies, ethics and legalities changes within the health care field. For most states, sample CNA CE courses include but not limited to:
With emerging ailments, certified nurse assistants must stay updated with new blood borne pathogens. This is vital because Certified Nursing Assistants are the nursing professionals who always maintain the highest level of contact with patients. Nurse aides must be trained on how to ensure the highest level of hygiene among patients to prevent the spread of blood borne pathogens.
In their line of duties, nurse assistants come into contact with different ailing patients. While cleaning, feeding, bathing and handling other duties among patients, it is easy to spread new infections to other patients or themselves. It is therefore very necessary for nurse aides to learn ways of controlling new infections.
The areas dealt with in this course include airborne infections like multi-drug resistant TB, hygiene based ailments like cholera and diarrhea, viral, fungal and bacterial infections. Nurse aides are also taught how to deal with nosocomial/ hospital based infections that usually lead to drug or antibiotic resistance in admitted patients.
- Medical documentation and record keeping
This lies on the introduction of novel medical recording and documentation methods. CNAs must be updated on basic concepts of nursing informatics for purposes of medical data collection and storage. They are also trained on the use of digitized devices for recording of vital signs like temperature, pressure, blood sugar among others.
- Medical errors prevention
Since Certified Nursing Assistants maintain the most frequent and close contact with the patients, they are expected to learn ways of mitigating preventable medical errors. They can be responsible in making sure patients do not take overdose medication, or reporting urgent fatal signs to a Registered Nurse (RN). They can also be trained on monitoring blood hangs, glucose drips among others.
- Legal aspects applicable to Certified Nurse Asisstants
As part of Continuing education, all nurses must remain updated with new legal issues governing their scope of practice. Nurses must be equipped with latest policies and changes within the nursing field. Such laws include those outlined in the state boards of nursing.
CNAs as well as their patients have rights bestowed to them by the code of medical ethics. As such, CNAs must get educated on changes in their rights or those of their patients.

It is usually convenient to take online continuing education rather than attending seminars or conferences. The latter requires absence from work or taking a short off. The employer may not be very compliant with that arrangement and it even costs more in terms of boarding and travel. While online certified nurse assistant continuing education courses are preferred, nurses must ensure the providing agency is accredited to offer CEUs. Such accreditation can be confirmed with the states board of nursing or the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC).
CNA Training Schools
Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA)s work within hospitals, home health agencies, and nursing homes where they provide direct patient care. The majority of CNAs have completed a six to twenty-four week training program offered at various locations. The primary job duties of CNAs are to assist patients with activities of daily living (e.g. bath grooming and personal hygiene, and eating), escort patients to medical appointments, monitor patient heart rate and blood pressure and dispense medication.
Training to become a CNA
CNA training schools provide classroom instruction in the theory and practice of basic nursing care, along with clinical practice which provides students the opportunity to work with patients in a variety of healthcare settings. Training programs are offered at hospitals and nursing homes, community colleges, as well as private vocational schools. Students may attend traditional campus-based classes or participate in distance learning programs. Online study is particularly valuable for working students who need a convenient method of completing the course. Online CNA training schools allow students to progress through the program at their own pace while balancing other work/family responsibilities. A final major benefit to online study is the savings on tuition since these programs have less overhead costs in terms of building space and support staff.
The most important factor to consider when selecting a CNA training school is that it has been approved by your State Board of Nursing. Accreditation is important because it provides attests to the quality of education students will receive. State approval is also necessary in order to apply for federally-based financial aid.
Admission to CNA Training School
For the most part CNA training schools do not require applicants to possess a high school diploma or GED to be accepted. However, students must be able to perform basic math calculations, as well as have good English language communication skills of both a verbal and written nature. Some CNA training schools will test English and math skills by having applicants take an entrance test called the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE). In most cases, applicants will also need to be at least 18 years of age, although some CNA training program are offered in vocational High Schools to students at least 16 years of age.
CNA Training School Curriculum
From 110 to 120 hours are typically required for completion of the training program. The following is a list of coursework that will be covered in most CNA training schools:
- Assisting patients with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing and personal hygiene.
- Taking patient vital signs (e.g. heart rate and blood pressure)
- Mobility techniques to safely pick up patients without injury and assisting with walking
- Safety procedures to control infection to patient and CNA (e.g. use of masks and gloves).
- Effective patient and family communication
- Proper feeding techniques for a variety of medical conditions
- Main health and emotional issues faced by those in long-term care facilities.
- Administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation and basic life support, along with first aid techniques.
- Procedures for recording patient information in charts.
CNA Training School Tuition
The cost to attend a CNA training school can range from the relatively low cost $400 (within hospitals or community colleges) to upwards of $2000 at private vocational schools. In addition, many hospitals and nursing facilities offer free tuition provided you sign an agreement to remain with the employer for a certain period of time upon graduation, usually one year. Many community-based non-profit agencies, such as the Red Cross, also offer free training. You may be eligible to obtain financial aid in the form of grants, scholarships, or loans. The first step is to complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) available in the financial aid office of the school you wish to attend or online at FAFSA.org.
Certification as a CNA
Once students complete the program, they will be required to satisfactorily pass a certification examination administered by their State Board of Nursing under the auspices of the National Council of State Boards of Nurses (ncsnb.org). There are two parts to the CNA examination: a written part which consists of multiple choice type questions based on theory and an oral part during which you will be required to answer a series of question regarding hands-on patient care and perform basic care procedures on a dummy patient while a test administrator observes.
Becoming a CNA can be a great first step in starting a long-term healthcare career. Many fully registered nurses stated as CNAs and worked their way, having their tuition paid for by their employer along the way.
How long does it take to become a CNA?
What is a CNA?
A CNA is a Certified Nursing Assistant. They work as part of the healthcare team alongside doctors and nurses. CNAs are primarily responsible for personal care duties, such as bathing, assisting patients with comfort as well as dialysis or similar processes.
What are prerequisites to becoming a CNA?
There are usually no prerequisite courses required prior to entering a CNA program; there is simply an age requirement, which most often is 18 years of age. In some states, a person as young as 16 can become a CNA as the CNA program may be offered in high schools.
Most CNA programs are offered at the community college level or at a technical school. In some cases, people with certain criminal records, may be barred from pursuing a CNA qualification. Each state will have specific requirements. Upon completing the CNA training, students are usually required to take a state-level exam to earn a certificate. The exam may be delivered in a computerized, pen and paper or even oral format depending on the state.
How long are CNA programs?
Most CNA programs are one to five months depending on the location and program format. Intensive programs can require as little as two weeks of study. Part-time programs which accommodate working professionals are also available. While some Certified Nursing Assistant programs are offered as part of a college certificate program to enrolled students, others are offered through community education programs, in which any local community member can enroll upon paying the course fee. Lower cost training programs are available at hospitals or through the Red Cross in certain states.
As with other nursing related programs, the CNA course may be delivered in a hybrid format with classes offered online and during the week. In some cases, students may be required to coordinate training with an off-campus facility, which may lengthen the time of the course.
Some CNA programs are combined or offered in conjunction with programs for Home Healthcare Aides, which have similar duties to the Certified Nurse Assistant with the exception that they work primarily in the home setting. Most CNA programs cost $500-$1000. In some states, prospective Certified Nursing Assistants can obtain on-the-job training in exchange for committing to work at the training facility for a period of time. This is also the case for some RN programs. Calling around to local healthcare facilities is the easiest way to determine if a free CNA training program exists in the area.
Where can I work as a CNA?
CNAs can work in hospitals, assisted living facilities, and usually anywhere that nurses can obtain a job. Working in a home healthcare setting is also a viable option. Checking classified ads for local families seeking to hire a caregiver for an elderly loved one is also a means to finding employment as a CNA.
What other careers can CNAs do?
Becoming a CNA is a common path to start a nursing career. Most Certified Nursing Assistants make $12,000 to $15,000 annually and can pursue additional courses in nursing while they are working as a CNA.
