Are you a certified nurse aide looking to relocate to Nevada? If the answer to this question is yes then you will need to know how to transfer a nurse aide certificate to the state of Nevada. In order to practice as a nursing assistant in Nevada you must apply for a CNA certificate by endorsement. Applications for endorsement are available on the Nevada Board of Nursing website, under the title CNA endorsement form.

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.

How do I transfer my CNA certification from Nevada to Texas?
Admin on September 11, 2009 at 11:51 PM
To transfer your Nevada CNA certification to Texas you need to complete the Request for Entry on the Texas Nurse Aide Registry Through Reciprocity. Complete section one of this application and send it to the nurse aide registry for the state where you are currently certified as a nursing assistant. The Nevada nurse aide registry will send it back to you after it completes section two. When both sections of the reciprocity form have been completed you need to send it to the Texas nurse aide registry. Do not forget to attach all the required copies of documents along with your application. If your nursing assistant certification does not show an expiration date, then you must also complete the Employment Verification form and send it to the Texas nurse aide registry (do not send this form if your certificate shows an expiration date).
