Nurse Aide Training Programs in New Jersey
The state of New Jersey has designed legislation which grants reimbursement of the cost and fees associated with a nurse aide training program. Here is what you need to know in order to get your money back and benefit from this educational sponsorship program. If you are not yet enrolled in a nursing assistant class then contact long-term care facilities who offer CNA programs and ask them if they will make offers of employment to their nurse aide students. Nursing homes who offer employment once you've enrolled in their CNA program are by law prohibited from charging any money associated with a nurse aide training or certification exams.
Sometimes it takes a long time to find an offer of employment prior to completing a nurse aide class. Even if you have not received an offer of employment, do not despair. Enroll in the CNA course of your choice at a vocational school, nursing home, or community college. You will have to pay for the nursing assistant program out of your pocket but as long as you find a job at a licensed long-term care facility within one year of becoming a certified nurse aide, you will receive your money back. In this case you should keep all the original receipts associated with the CNA program, including textbooks, tuition, and exam receipts. They will serve as proof of the expenses you incurred and you will need to present these receipts upon employment to receive reimbursement.

New Jersey CNA Training and Competency Evaluation Program Providers
Please select a New Jersey county from the table below to find approved training competency and evaluation programs for nurse aides in long term care and medication aides in assisted living.
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.

Message: If I take the CNA course at a NJ community college, will I be able to work in a PA hospital? It is more convenient for me to go to the program in NJ but I would want to work in PA. It sounds like the CNA program in NJ is for a NJ certification. Thanks.

Message: Your first option is to complete the nursing assistant training program in New Jersey and challenge the exam in Pennsylvania. This will result in obtaining CNA certification in Pennsylvania and eligibility to work in that state only. The second option is to complete the nursing assistant course and also take the state test in New Jersey. Once you pass the certification exam you are eligible to apply for reciprocity in Pennsylvania. This will give you the opportunity to work in both states since you appear on both state registries.

Hi, I live in New Jersey right now and was thinking about making a move to Virginia. I am currently a CNA in New Jersey so what would it take to transfer my certification to Virginia?
Admin on August 09, 2009 at 09:34 AM
If you wish to obtain certification as a nursing assistant in Virginia then you need to apply for certification by endorsement in this new state. Certification by endorsement and placement on the Virginia CNA registry is granted if you meet the following requirements: you are currently registered as a CNA in New Jersey and have no findings of abuse, neglect, or misappropriation and you complete and submit the endorsement application and other necessary documents to the nurse aide credentialing agency in Virginia. Instructions as well as the application for CNA certification by endorsement can be found here: Application for Nurse Aide Certification by Endorsement.
