Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) are regulated by state-level agencies. All states require CNAs to complete state-approved training and pass a state exam in order to be registered with the state. The specific agency(ies) involved in CNA regulation varies by state. The Bowen Center completed a 50-state scan of state approaches to CNA regulation and findings are included in this report.
