Nurse Aide Training Programs in Georgia

Are you looking to transfer your CNA certification to Georgia but you are not sure of the exact process? We are here to help and guide you by explaining what credentials and documents you might need. First of all, to begin the process of nurse assistant certification transfer, you need to have a valid, active nurse aide certification in your home state. This means that you have already completed a CNA training program and passed the nurse aide state exam. You must be listed in good standing on your state CNA registry, which means there are no resident's abuse or neglect charges against you.

Once all of these criteria have been satisfied, the state of Georgia will recognized your CNA training and certification. You will receive a Georgia CNA certificate without having to repeat a nurse aide class or pass the Georgia CNA exam. Each reciprocity applicant must complete a specific application by which the person is formally requesting the transfer or reciprocity of their CNA credentials from their home state to the state of Georgia. Some parts of the application are to be completed by the applicant, some by your current or past employer, and some by the nurse aide registry in your home state. For a complete step by step guide to the transferring process please review our CNA license transfer instructions.

Certified Nurse Aide Training Programs in Georgia ( Page 14 )

Nursing assistant programs prepare individuals for challenging the nurse aide certification exam and for entry level positions in health care environments. Each state has the authority to decide how many hours of training a nursing assistant course must consist of, as long as the minimum federal requirement of seventy-five hours is met. Students interested in attending CNA classes have a wide array of choices when it comes to selecting a training facility.

Nursing assistant courses are conducted at nursing homes, vocational schools, private schools, and community colleges. Program length, admission requirements, and cost of training vary depending on the policies of every training facility. Several states have implemented legislation which requires licensed long-term care facilities to reimburse CNA employees for the costs associated with training. An individual who has paid for nursing assistant training classes and who becomes employed by a nursing home within a year of obtaining certification, is eligible for financial reimbursement. Compared to other training programs in the health care field, nursing assistant classes are relatively short and inexpensive. Obtaining state certification as a CNA is the main requirement for securing a nurse aide job at a nursing home, hospital, rehabilitation or skilled nursing facility.

Questions, Comments, Suggestions

Shelby R. on August 29, 2009 at 04:54 AM
I have recently got married and need to change my last name on my nursing assistant certification card. I live in Georgia and I am not up for renewal until 3/2010. How do I go about getting that done?


Admin on August 29, 2009 at 06:22 PM
According to state and federal regulations, your name and address must be updated on the Georgia Nurse Aide Registry every time they change. For a change of name you need to complete and send the following form to the Georgia CNA registry: State of Georgia Nurse Aide Registry - Request a Change of Name. Include copies of all the required documents and follow all the instructions in the form.


Can a North Carolina CNA license be transferred to Georgia? Who can I call?

I worked as a CNA for 7+ years, but since the birth of my daughter 3 years ago, I haven't been employed. Also, I was certified in Georgia, and have moved to Virginia. What do I need to do to be able to work as a CNA again?

Can a Critical Care Tech work as a Certified Nurse Assistant in Georgia?

I worked at a nursing home after I completed the CNA class and got my CNA license in 1994 or 1995. Can I take the CNA exam and obtain my certification as a CNA without taking the whole class again?

Can I enroll in a CNA class without a high school diploma or GED?

CNA Training Requirements

There is a wide disparity between CNA training requirements among the states. The difference lies in the mandatory number of total training hours necessary to complete state-approved CNA classes.


While according to federal law each nursing assistant course should contain a minimum of seventy-five (75) instruction and clinical hours, individual states have the liberty to mandate extra training requirements for certified nursing assistants. The majority of states exceed the threshold federal minimum requirements for nurse aide training programs because they are considered insufficient to result in an optimal and safe level of care for clients.


A review of nationwide state requirements for nurse assistant courses has found that the following states have mandated highest number of CNA program hours: Maine with a minimum of 90 hours of theory, 20 hours of laboratory skills and 70 hours of clinical instruction for a total of 180 hours; California with one hundred and sixty (160) training hours; Delaware and Oregon each requiring one hundred and fifty (150) hours; followed by the state of Alaska with one hundred and forty (140) hours; Virginia, Arizona, and West Virginia have a minimum of one hundred and twenty (120) training hours for state-approved classes.
