Do you have a zeal for nursing care to ailing bed side patients? If it is your passion to serve suffering residents, you can enroll into a state and OBRA-87 accredited nurse aide training program, regulated by Nevada State Board of Nursing (NSBN), which include classroom learning and clinical trainings. After completion of the training program, you are eligible to appear for the state Certified Nurse assistant certification exam for CNA License in Nevada and also for listing with state nurse aide registry.

It is also wise to remember that NSBN has contracted with Prometric to develop, administer and regulate the CNA Licensing exam. The testing site of Prometric or NSBN can provide complete details and instructions about the test.

The Licensing Exam consists of two separate segments including, written/oral test and skill demonstration test. The questions of the written test are based on classroom instructions of nursing courses that are required for the safe and competent care of residents in hospitals, long term care units, nursing homes and other health care centers. Similarly skill demonstration is to be conducted on a dummy or live model on learning from the clinical hands-on training during CNA training programs.

The passing of both tests offer a candidate CNA License in Nevada and legal working permission all over the state.

It is also necessary that a student must get CNA license to earn better salary with better job opportunities. The reason being, the rapid advancement and new discoveries in medical and nursing field have made it essential for a CNA to update his/her knowledge about proficient nursing care. Even employers of health care centers prefer nurse aides, who are certified and well versed with different aspects of nursing care field.
