[Cnaprogram] Decreasing time between training program completion and certification

[Nancy Goodding]

Hello,



Fieldprint is helping to reduce the time between training program completion and certification.  Recently, a nursing assistant 's certification exam application and payment posted at the Board office on 9/11/15, the applicant passed their exam on 9/24/15, and their fingerprint results were received on 9/29/2015.  This applicant was certified in 2 ½ weeks.



It has come to my attention that some test applicants are waiting to see if they pass the certification exam before scheduling their fingerprint scanning appointment.  This practice will increase the time it takes to get certified.  Applicants for certification can shorten the time between training program completion and certification by completing the fingerprint scan while waiting to take the exam.
