[contentblock id=15]Among the large number of new jobs that will be generated, one of the highest needs will be for certified nursing assistants. In Connecticut, a lot of people are taking CNA training programs to be able to respond to the increasing demand. The growing elderly population makes certified nursing assistants in high demand. Nurse aide positions are actually considered entry-level jobs. This means that you will have opportunities to advance to a higher level after gaining a few years of experience or attaining further nursing education to become an LPN or RN.

How Much Can You Make as a CNA in Connecticut?


Working as a nurse assistant is a noble profession with rewarding compensation. The average CNA salary in Connecticut is $45,289 per year. As a nursing assistant, you will be giving direct patient care to people who can no longer take care of their own personal needs. People who are physically incapacitated rely on nurses, nurse aides and nurse practitioners to provide an overall care plan. The expected job growth predictions for CNAs in Connecticut are strong and indicate slow, steady, positive demand in the coming years.


How to Become a CNA in Connecticut


To become a Certified Nursing Assistant in Connecticut you must complete the necessary steps to obtain certification from the Connecticut state board of nursing. The first step is to find and complete an approved CNA training program. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) requires all CNA programs to include a minimum of 75 hours of instruction. Individual states might require additional training beyond the national minimum. Most programs take about 6-12 weeks to finish. The average cost of a CNA training course is between $800 – $1,500. The second step is to take the Connecticut CNA certification exam and achieve a passing score. The third and final step is to register with the Connecticut Nurse Aide Registry as a Certified Nursing Assistant.


Can I Transfer My CNA License to Connecticut?


If you are a certified nursing assistant from another state and have just moved to Connecticut you can apply to the Nursing Aide Registry in Connecticut for what is called “reciprocity”. As long as you can provide verification that you completed a state approved CNA certification program, are currently certified in another state, and have worked as a CNA recently. You would not need to take the Connecticut exam or training if you are granted reciprocity. All CNA licenses need to be renewed every two years and must have worked a minimum of 160 hours within those two years.


Working as a CNA in Connecticut


Connecticut certified nursing assistants ranked 5th in the country in terms of total compensation received. As a matter of fact, CNAs from neighboring states such as New York fly over to Connecticut for a number of months of employment. This simply shows that there is a shortage of certified nursing assistants in the state of Connecticut. By taking CNA training, you will increase your chances of landing a job in the healthcare industry after you become certified. CNAs in Connecticut have over 30 different cities and many different types of facilities to search for employment opportunities.
