Becoming a CNA in Hawaii
Hawaii structures its CNA pathway differently from most of the country. Instead of a Board of Nursing, the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) contracts directly with Prometric to administer the exam, manage the public registry, and handle recertification mailings. That means almost every interaction a candidate has after training - from filing the application to receiving the certificate - goes through Prometric rather than a state agency in Honolulu.
