Nurse Assistant Exam

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

Hi, I just finished my Nurse Assistant course in Arizona. I did not take exam there because my mom got I'll and I had to immediately relocate to Michigan to take care of her. My question is, can I take the exam here in Michigan although I took training in Arizona? Please help! I cannot go back to AZ anytime soon...

That does suck! Maybe you can take a shorter course or find a facility you wouldn't mind working in for a year or so pay for your training. I'm sorry this is happening but just imagine how well you will do the second time around. You'll have everything down pat!
