TOOLBOX FOR COORDINATORS AND INSTRUCTORS
The staff at Nurse Aide Testing are excited to have you on our team!
The Toolbox for Coordinators and Instructors is a collection of resources and assistive tools designed to help you navigate through the A-Z process of program approval and operation, as well as to provide program support.
This website provides a Student Resource Section that students should utilize to complete a nurse aide competency sample exam and to explore information related to exam testing. The Exam Registration Section will guide students through the certification process. Please share this information with students to make competency testing a stress-free process.
Be sure to visit the CNAEA Educators website (www.cnaeducators.org) which provides information about the professional organization for instructors in Illinois to network and share best practices with each other.
Take some time to explore this website and if you have additional questions, please contact our office by email at inat@siu.edu or by phone at 877-262-9259.
Thank you for your dedication to your students and work to make your program a success!
