Step 3 – Meet training hour requirement for Pennsylvania

Graduating from an authorized course is required to become a CNA. Successfully taking this step in Pennsylvania requires you to complete 80 hours of educational learning in a classroom setting and another 37.5 hours of hands-on clinical training in a clinical setting. These required hours must be met before you’ll be permitted to take the certification examination.

Step 4 – Pass the PA CNA certification exam

In Pennsylvania, you will be required to pass a nationally-recognized test for nurse aide certification – the NNAAP.

The group that gives the exam is a national testing service named PearsonVue. Regular exam sites in Pennsylvania are usually in the towns and cities outlined here.

The cost of the full examination in PA is $102. A retest of the skills test has to pay $70 and pay $32 for the written/oral knowledge tests.

Step 5 – Get on the PA Nurse Aide Registry

The very last step in becoming approved to work as a CNA in Pennsylvania is getting your name listed to the Pennsylvania Nurse Aide Registry. The registry is a checklist maintained by the Pennsylvania Department of Health that contains the names of any nursing assistants in the state. Unless you are on this list, you cannot be approved to work. This detail is often taken care of on your behalf, however.

Once you have passed the NNAAP, the examination service will alert the registry of your new status. In Pennsylvania, you are usually included on the record within of passing the certification test.

For solutions to any further questions you might have, we suggest that you speak to the registry using the information provided. For questions see the PA department of health nursing aide page here.
