You can become a certified nursing assistant in Alabama by completing a training program and then passing the National Nurse Aide Examination. It is often possible to receive free training through long-term care facilities. They will often hire people to work as nursing aides and thus provide all training for certification. This training will usually be about four weeks in length and sometimes nursing home facilities even pay individuals for the hours they are in training. It will be necessary for you to take the certification exam at a NNAAAP examination site after you finish a state approved nursing assistant course. Students have 24 months after completing a training course to take the certification exam.
The nursing aide certification exam has a written portion and a skills portion. For the skills portion you will demonstrate nursing assistant skills on a “practice patient.” In Alabama you must bring someone with you who is over the age of 16 to serve as your model patient for the exam. Before you can begin testing, you will need to show two forms of signature identification. At least one of your identification documents must be a photo ID. You will also need to provide your social security number. It is necessary to have a watch with a second hand to use when you are taking vital signs during your skills test. You will need to bring an eraser as well as 3 sharpened pencils to the testing site. You will become a certified nursing assistant after you pass both parts of the test.
