how do i get certified?

Answer 1

Did the website not tell you??

go to that website and look, and if you can't find it

there must be a 800 phone number

Answer 2

in most states that diploma is useless.............

you can go to most nursing homes and take a certification class that will include 40 hours of class work and 35 hours of clinical, upon completion you will be eligible to take the state exam and skills test.

you have 120 days from completion of clinical and class work to take and past the states testing to be certified.

most of these homes will pay for your state testing as well.

these employers do generally require a commitment for employment from you to provide this training and testing usually 90 days to 6 months of employment otherwise some will charge for the class and test.

CNAs are licensed by the state but their qualifications and training requirements are set by federal regulations administered by Medicare.

Medicare reimburses nursing homes for this training and testing.
