Becoming a CNA in Texas
Becoming a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) in Texas is one of the fastest healthcare credentials to obtain — a motivated candidate can go from no training to working in 6 to 8 weeks. The pathway is regulated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), which approves Nurse Aide Training and Competency Evaluation Programs (NATCEPs), contracts with Credentia to administer the competency exam, and maintains the Texas Nurse Aide Registry that every employer must check before hiring. Texas requires the federal minimum of 75 training hours rather than the higher state-specific totals seen in California (160), New York (100), or Virginia (120).
