Connecticut State Department of Public Health

The Federal Government has reopened COVIDtests.gov. Every household can order four over-the-counter COVID-19 tests for free. These tests are intended for use throughout the 2024 holiday season to detect currently circulating COVID-19 variants. Please visit COVIDtests.gov for your free test.

Select this route if you have successfully completed a state approved nurse's aide training program in another state within the past 24 months that consisted of a minimum of 100 hours of classroom and clinical instruction, but have not successfully completed that state's nurse's aide examination.

You are required to take and pass the Connecticut nurse's aide competency exam.  The exam is administered by Prometric.  

Please complete an online application or a printable application, which is submitted with payment to Prometric.
