CNA Certification Exam
What is the Prometric Exam?
The Nurse Aide Prometric exam is the certifying test that qualifying nurse aides must take in order to become a Certified Nurse Aide or CNA.
This exam is broken up into two portions – a written portion and a clinical, or hands-on portion.
Written Portion
- Timed Exam (90 minutes)
- 60 questions
- 50 scored questions.
- 10 un-scored questions (for example: name, date, etc.)
Clinical Portion
- Hands-on
- 5 nursing skills
- Chosen at random
Why should I take the Prometric Exam?
Taking & passing the Nurse Aide Prometric Exam allows you to officially become a Certified Nursing Assistant, and opens the door to employment opportunities that only certified & licensed healthcare professionals can take advantage of – such as in Hospitals & Nursing Homes.
It will also increase your hourly pay rate, with most CNAs seeing a $2 an hour increase over their non-certified counterparts. For a CNA working fulltime – that’s an extra $4,000 a year on average just for getting certified!
