Each state oe department of health in each courty have it's own rules. In most state you might have to take the certifed CNA classes to qualify to take the state boards. The best thing to do is call the Nursing state board ( In the phone book) and ask what the requirments are and what classes you need. Unless something has changed you can't take the test online, it has to be in person. 1 writen exam and 1 day of hands on clinicals. I am a certifided CNA, home health aid, medication certified and wound care certified. I had to go through a cousre for each one except home health aid because I already had my CNA. Calling the nursing boad can give you all the information you need. Also if you do have to take the CNA course, most places that hire CNAs have a free course through them and they will pay for the fees state boards if you agree to work for them for a certain amount of time. But I have seen people take the boards and then leave for better pastures. CNAs are in high demand so almost all places will pay for the boards. I know of no list you can get of the test dates because each state and county is differant and they try to make the test dates when they can get the most poeple to do it in one day. Chances are you are going to have to make a few phone calls to the state and get put on a list and then wait until you get a letter in the mail.

Okay I never said I was nice but come on. I work as a home health aide and at a hospital setting. The pay rate for home health aide wear I work is $12.00 thats the max. For hospital you can make up to $16 depends on how good you are. I like the hospital setting. I don't wipe people's butts that much. People can do it them selves most of the time. Its not that big of a deal if you have to spray something in the air they provide things like that at the hospital so it not that bad. You get on your feet more unless your dam lazy then you should not go for nurse cause there on there feet alot too. So you should get up and try something new even the assisting living places pay up to $14.

what home health company do you work for? They should be able to tell you where you can take your CNA exam.
Also, contact community colleges in your area.

you can take it at a junior college or check with a retirement home in your area. It might be cheaper for you or even free.
