Becoming a CNA in Kentucky

Becoming a nurse aide in Kentucky follows a slightly different naming convention than most states: Kentucky credentials its aides as State Registered Nurse Aides (SRNAs) rather than CNAs. The pathway is governed by the Cabinet for Health and Family Services' Department for Medicaid Services (which approves training programs under 907 KAR 1:450) and the Kentucky Board of Nursing (which maintains the registry). Training is 75 hours — the federal minimum — with about 59 classroom hours and at least 16 hours of clinical practice in a Medicaid-approved facility.
