Any candidate who fails the test on the first attempt must enroll in a Kansas state-approved nurse aide training course. The Kansas nurse aide test may be taken only one time based on certification in another state. Nurse aide certificates are issued three to four weeks after the test date to those who achieve a score of seventy-five percent (75%) or higher on the nurse aide test. You need to challenge and pass the state nurse aide exam to be eligible to work as a CNA after the four month period expires. The trainee II period is one time only, and the initial approval will not change. This will allow a nursing facility to employ you as a Nurse Aide Trainee II for a single four-month period beginning on the initial approval date on the bottom of your Approval to Test letter. Once the department receives all required documents you will get an “Approval to Test” letter in the mail. Return the interstate application form and attachments to Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS), Health Occupations Credentialing (HOC). Non-refundable application fee of $20.00 (check, money order or certified check). If you have NOT previously been a Certified Nurse Aide in Kansas, you need to complete the interstate application and attach the following:Ĭopy of identification with current name and social security number (drivers license, social security card, picture ID) In order to be eligible to sit for the Kansas Nurse Aide Test, a candidate must be listed as current or active on any other State’s registry.
