Nurse Aide Training Programs in Maryland
Completing a nursing assistant course and becoming certified in Maryland gives you the right to work in any licensed long-term care institution in the state. How do you make sure that you keep this right? A nursing assistant in Maryland must renew her certification every two years. The rules of CNA certificate renewal are simple: to qualify you need to have practiced as a CNA for sixteen (16) hours in the last twenty-four months (two years). If you don't meet this requirement you can not renew your certification. The entity regulating renewal of a nurse aide certification is the Maryland Board of Nursing.
The Board expects the supervising registered nurse (RN) to verify and acknowledge that a nurse aide has been engaged in active practice for a minimum of sixteen hours since last renewal. A certified nurse assistant in Maryland may renew her certification on line, by mail, or in person. Most people choose the on line option since it is the fastest and most convenient route. Online renewal requires a social security number and a nursing assistant certification number. Once you have completed the application, you need to ask your supervising RN (licensed in the state of Maryland) to confirm and approve your CNA renewal application.

CNA Programs in Prince George's County, Maryland
Nursing assistant programs prepare individuals for challenging the nurse aide certification exam and for entry level positions in health care environments. Each state has the authority to decide how many hours of training a nursing assistant course must consist of, as long as the minimum federal requirement of seventy-five hours is met. Students interested in attending CNA classes have a wide array of choices when it comes to selecting a training facility.
Nursing assistant courses are conducted at nursing homes, vocational schools, private schools, and community colleges. Program length, admission requirements, and cost of training vary depending on the policies of every training facility. Several states have implemented legislation which requires licensed long-term care facilities to reimburse CNA employees for the costs associated with training. An individual who has paid for nursing assistant training classes and who becomes employed by a nursing home within a year of obtaining certification, is eligible for financial reimbursement. Compared to other training programs in the health care field, nursing assistant classes are relatively short and inexpensive. Obtaining state certification as a CNA is the main requirement for securing a nurse aide job at a nursing home, hospital, rehabilitation or skilled nursing facility.
