cna certification

good day all. please is it possible for me to sit for the cna board exam in dc without being presented by a nursing school.

i ask this because the school i was attending was reaping off its students, so many of us are looking for alternatives. unfortunately i dont have the finances to start another program but i would very much want to write the board exam because i know i will pass both the written and skill test. please anyone that knows how to make my dream come through should not hesitate to inform me thank you

    Pretty much every state requires that you have taken and passed a CNA course to sit for the exam. Many, but not all, offer CNA education waivers if you have completed the first semester of a nursing program. And very few will allow you to get certified with proof of so much time as a non certified nurses aide. The fastest way to get this question answered is to go to your state BON website and pull up the CNA application. It will be quite a few pages long and will list the requirements for certification. You can also email the BON and just ask them. Most will respond within a few days. What we say in this forum doesn't matter because the BON, and I guess in some states the health department, regulate CNA certification.

    In NC you can challenge the state test, so maybe you can there too? Be careful though, they are very strict on the skills part.
