Not necessarily. You will need to check the requirements of the college where you want to get your LPN certification from. Having a CNA certification will however prepare you for a career in nursing as well as give you an edge over other candidates in a limited seats LPN program

Hi Olivia,
NAC – Nursing Assistant Certification. It is the same as a CNA. It would be really difficult to do your training in one state and certification in another. A lot of times states differ in their training requirements so unless Mn and Wa have the same training hours requirements it will be hard to do the test in Washington. I would suggest doing the training and test in Minnesota and then transferring your certification to Washington at a later date.

Hi. You should be able to get your CNA training from any accredited provider. Just browse the CNA classes by state page above and select your state to get a list of training providers.

You can get in touch with your state nursing board to get a list of testing sites around your area.

Unfortunately all states require that the training be done at an accredited training provider to be eligible for the certification exam. You could try contacting the nursing board/CNA registry for your state and explaining your case to them.

Hi, i recently completed an in-service training program for nurses’ assistants. i followed a comprehensive training schedule and testing. we have no certification process for this group of persons, is it possible that they could take a certification exam elsewhere? what are the requirements?
