How nurse aides get certified in state health care settings
This section explains how nurse aides working in state-licensed or state-certified health care settings (except Medicare or Medicaid nursing homes) get certified. They must finish approved training and pass an exam. Fees may be charged, and recertification happens every two years with a competency test and a job in a qualifying setting.
