Becoming a CNA in Tennessee

Becoming a CNA in Tennessee is one of the more candidate-friendly pathways in the country, largely because of the state's unusual 120-day temporary work permit. After you complete the 75-hour state-approved training program, Tennessee lets you start working as a paid nurse aide under supervision for up to 120 days while you take the Headmaster competency exam. Most candidates use this window to begin earning a CNA wage right away, often 4 to 6 weeks into the process rather than waiting another 4 weeks for the exam and registry listing to complete.
