Best Answer

To become a certified nursing assistant, you will first need to enroll in and complete a state-approved CNA training program. The courses will cover basic health care vocabulary, concepts and procedures along with medical standards and regulations. A portion of the training is done in a classroom setting and the remaining part is done in a live clinical setting where you will work with real patients under the supervision of a nurse. After completing your CNA program, you will need to pass a background check and a certification exam. There is usually a small application fee required to take the test. After passing the test, you will be eligible to work in the state where you took the exam.
