CNA/CMA Renewal Requirements

To renew a CNA certificate, a CNA must:

Work and be paid for at least 400 hours (approximately three months, full-time) of CNA duties in the two years immediately preceding the certificate expiration date. Volunteer work does not count for renewal. Caring for a family member counts for renewal only when it is paid employment.

Perform authorized duties as listed in the OSBN's rules under the supervision of a licensed nurse or under delegation by a Registered Nurse.

Employment as a CMA counts toward CNA renewal. However, work as a CNA does not count toward CMA renewal.

In addition, CMAs must have eight hours of medication-related continuing education during the two years immediately preceding the certificate expiration date.
