CNA Training in Illinois

If you are interested in starting a career in the healthcare industry without spending a lot of time or money, you should consider a career as a nursing assistant.  CNAs provide basic nursing care services for patients in a variety of healthcare settings.  You must hold a certification as a nursing assistant (aide) in Illinois if you want to work in a home health care agency, intermediate care facilities and license/certified skilled nursing facilities.  In order to become a certified nursing assistant, you will need to take a nursing assistant training course and then to complete a nursing assistant competency exam.

The Health Care Worker Registry provides a listing of nursing assistants in Illinois.  This is much like the Nursing Aide Registry used in many other states.  The Department of Public Health is responsible for maintaining this registry in the state of Illinois.  Information on the registry is available over the telephone as well as online.  Before hiring someone to work as a CNA, a healthcare facility will verify their certification and details with the registry.  This ensures that only qualified individuals are hired to work as nursing assistants.  And that those individuals have not had any charges of abuse or neglect against patients.
