Renewal of your Oklahoma CNA certification requires eight hours of paid employment in a licensed nursing facility, specialized facility, residential care home, home health or home care agency, adult day care center, assisted living center, continuum of care facility, Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs nursing facility, or Oklahoma correctional facility. Employment worked in private duty will not renew your certification.
If you have no work proof or if your certification is expired 24 to 36 months, you must retest. If your certification is expired over 36 months, you must retrain and retest. You should contact the Oklahoma Nurse Aide Registry by email at nar@health.ok.gov or phone at 405-271-4085 or 800-695-2157 to verify this information and additional guidance for your particular circumstances.
