Becoming a CNA in New Jersey
Becoming a CNA in New Jersey is procedurally distinctive because of two New Jersey-specific quirks. First, the Certified Nurse Aide credential is regulated by the New Jersey Department of Health (NJ DOH), Health Facilities Certification & Licensing — not by the New Jersey Board of Nursing. The Board of Nursing regulates a related but separate credential called the Certified Homemaker-Home Health Aide (CHHA), which is for in-home care work. The two credentials are commonly confused but follow completely different training, exam, and oversight pathways. If you want to work in a nursing home or hospital, you need the CNA credential; if you want to work in patients' homes through a home health agency, you need the CHHA credential.
