Before you can become a certified nursing assistant in Pennsylvania, you will need to take the National Aide Assessment Program (certification exam). There are several criteria under which you can be eligible to sit for this certification exam. If you fall under one of these categories, you will need to apply to take the exam. Once approved, you will receive details on the date, time and location of your testing. An average salary of $24,000 per year is expected for nursing assistants in Pennsylvania. The opportunity to earn more is available for individuals who work in their field for an extended period of time.
You can apply to sit for the certified nursing assistant exam if you have completed a CNA training program that is approved by the state of Pennsylvania. You might be eligible to challenge the CNA certification exam if you are a nursing student in Pennsylvania. Individuals who have received certification as an aide in another state are often able to sit for the certification exam in Pennsylvania. The same is true of individuals who have an expired nursing assistant certification in one of the other states. It will be necessary to retake the certification exam if you have allowed your certification to expire.
