Becoming a CNA in Nebraska
Nebraska's nurse aide system is run directly by the Department of Health and Human Services Licensure Unit, with testing contracted to the Nebraska Health Care Learning Center (NHCLC) - an affiliate of the Nebraska Health Care Association rather than a national vendor like Prometric or Headmaster. Approved 75-hour programs are delivered by the state's community college system, faith-based colleges, and a growing number of private providers like CNA Learning Hub, and all candidates schedule testing through nebraskanurseaide.org.
