Nursing Assistant Testing
We are an approved test site for the Minnesota State Registry Test and this competency exam for Nursing Assistants (NA) meets state and federal OBRA requirements.
There are two parts of the MN State Registry Test for Nursing Assistants - the Knowledge Test and the Skills Test. You must register for and pass both parts in order to be certified and listed on the Minnesota Nursing Assistant Registry.
