(a) An applicant is eligible for certification as a nurse aide by examination if the applicant meets one of the following requirements:
(1) successful completion, within two years immediately before the date of application, of a certified nurse aide training program approved under 12 AAC 44.835, or equivalent in content to the requirements of 12 AAC 44.835(c) ;
(2) possession of an unencumbered nursing license, either current or lapsed, issued by a state or territory of the United States, or by a province of Canada;
(3) successful completion, within five years immediately before the date of application, of one year or more of nursing education that includes both clinical and classroom instruction on nursing theory from a nursing school approved by a state or territory of the United States or by a province of Canada, and that is equivalent in content to the requirements of 12 AAC 44.835(c) ;
(4) successful completion, within 10 years immediately before the date of application, of a United States military corpsman or medic training program equivalent in content to the requirements of 12 AAC 44.835(c) and service in the United States military forces as a corpsman or medic within five years immediately before the date of application;
(5) successful completion of a nursing training program in a foreign country other than Canada; an applicant shall submit all required documents accompanied by certified English translations if the original documents are not in English.
(b) An applicant who meets the requirements of (a) of this section must also successfully complete the certified nurse aide competency evaluation described in 12 AAC 44.850. The board will deny permission to take the competency evaluation to an applicant who has committed an act or omission that would constitute grounds for denial of certification under 12 AAC 44.818, if the board determines that the gravity of that act or omission supports a denial of permission to take the competency evaluation.
