You can become a certified nursing assistant in New York by taking a CNA training course. After completing the course, it will be necessary to complete and pass the Certification Exam. Certification exams are maintained and administered by the Prometric Company. Many long-term care facilities and nursing homes offer CNA training programs and also serve as test centers for CNA certification exams. If you have been hired to work as a CNA upon completion of your nursing assistant training, the long-term care facility will pay for the cost of your competency exam.
If you are taking a certification exam at the facility where you received your training, someone from the facility will inform you of the date and time of your testing. This person will often be someone who served as one of your instructors during your nursing assistant training. If you are taking a nursing aide certification exam at a different testing center, you will need to contact Prometric to apply for an exam date. It will only take you about two weeks to receive details on the time and locations of your examination. Nursing assistant examinations will consist of written and skills portions both of which need to be passed to complete your certification.
