Certified Nursing Assistant Recertification
THE PROGRAM
Designed for students interested in working in nursing homes, other long-term health care facilities, or hospital
settings and who must validate selected performance skills due to a 24-30 month lapse in CNA employment.
Through this six-hour testing program, students will be reevaluated in clinical settings with hands-on skills. May be
repeated once. Graded as pass/fail.
All students successfully completing the course must take and pass the “hands on” skills and written, state approved
competency evaluation. With successful passing, the students name is placed on the Nurse Aide State Registry.
Illinois statute requires all new nurse aides to have a criminal background check before their names can be added to
the Nurse Aide Registry. This check is completed prior to course enrollment.
