Becoming a CNA in North Carolina
Becoming a CNA in North Carolina is unique because the state operates a two-tier nursing assistant credentialing system that no other state quite matches. The entry-level credential, Nurse Aide I (NA I), is the equivalent of the standard CNA found in other states and requires the federal-minimum 75 hours of training. The advanced credential, Nurse Aide II (NA II), requires an additional 80+ hours of training and a separate competency evaluation and authorizes expanded clinical skills like sterile dressing changes, catheterization, and certain medication administration. Most CNA pathways in NC start with NA I and add NA II later, after gaining experience, to broaden employment options.
