CNA Classes in North Carolina ( Page 2 )
State-approved, certified nursing assistant programs in North Carolina are being conducted by various educational institutions as well as licensed long-term care facilities in the state. Depending on individual preference, one may enroll in accelerated CNA courses which last only a few weeks, or in longer, traditional courses, which may take approximately three months to complete. Cost free nurse aide classes are also being offered by various nursing homes, especially when a facility needs additional direct care personnel. Similar to the process applied in other states, in order to obtain the title of certified nurse aide in North Carolina one must complete a CNA training class and pass the state competency evaluation.
Registered and licensed professional nurses who wish to become listed on the North Carolina Nurse Aide Registry are not required to challenge the CNA exam, and need only apply for registry listing based on their current nursing license. Unlike other states, which allow reciprocity of a nursing aide certification, North Carolina mandates that a nurse aide certified in another state must challenge the CNA examination in North Carolina in order to obtain certification in this state. If you wish to relocate to North Carolina keep in mind that the process of reciprocity or endorsement does not apply here. Pearson Vue is the entity responsible for administering the North Carolina CNA exam. Exam information, nursing assistant candidate handbook, and test application can be obtained by contacting the testing agency or visiting them online.

Message: We currently do personal care services and have been for the last 5 years. I am interested in being able to teach CNA I certification and Med Tech if at all possible. Please help me find out how to do this. Also is it possible to just teach the course only with a clinical and then have the students to take the skills certification elsewhere?

Message: CNA program instructors must meet certain criteria required by state regulations. If you are looking to become a nurse aide instructor at a facility which is already approved by the state to provide CNA training classes, then all you have to do is meet the instructor requirements. If you plan to begin a brand new nursing assistant course at the facility where you are currently employed, then you must comply with the rules and regulations that apply to starting up such programs. The process begins by obtaining and completing the application for a nurse aide training and competency evaluation program in your particular state. To obtain the application as well as to find out what specific requirements you must meet as a CNA program provider/instructor, contact the CNA registry in your state. If you reside and want to become a CNA training provider in North Carolina, then here are a couple of links which may help you get started. For existing state-approved programs only: Clinical Site Approval Request for Nurse Aide I Training Program, and Faculty Approval Request Form. To apply for state-approval: Nurse Aide I Training Program Application Packet. Also you may find these pages useful: Handbook which contains laws, rules, and general information about the Health Care Personnel Registry, including facility requirements for reporting allegations and accessing registry information and North Carolina State-Approved Nurse Aide I Curriculum. Good luck and let me know if you want to be added on our CNA training provider lists after you obtain approval - it's free.

How long do CNA classes take and what exactly do you have to do?
Admin on July 19, 2014 at 10:51 PM
Nursing assistant training courses may take anywhere between three weeks to three months to complete, depending on the facility or school which offers the program. To enroll in nurse aide classes you must meet certain admission criteria pertaining to education, health, and background history. Those who are accepted into CNA classes must complete both the classroom and hands-on practice sessions to graduate. Finally, one must pass a final exam which tests a candidate's skills and abilities to practice correctly and safely. When you pass this final test you become a certified nurse aide.
After becoming a CNA how much more training does it take to become an RN?
I am really interested in becoming a certified nursing assistant. I am in the military and we go out to sea continuously. I do not have too much time to actually attend a program until next year. Who offers online CNA classes?
How do I sign up for CNA training?
How long does it take to get a CNA certificate?
Do you have any advice for someone having to go to a CNA job interview?
