What is the National
Nurse Aide Assessment Program?
The NNAAP:
The National Nurse Aide Assessment Program (NNAAP) is the largest nurse aide certification examination program in the United States and there are now 23 States that fall under the NNAAP organization.

What Does a CNA Do?
The nurse aide exam consists of two components. One is the oral portion which is offered in English and Spanish. The other is the written; a written portion and a skills-demonstration portion.
Every candidate must effectively complete both the written and the oral part of the exam. Once completed and passed their state can add their name to the state nurse aide registry. The state registry is used to guarantee employers that the prospective hire has met the state and federal requirements for employment.
