Certified Nursing Assistants (CNA)
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1987 requires SNFs and NFs to use as nurse aides any individuals who have successfully completed a nurse aide training and competency evaluation program (NATCEP) or competency evaluation program (CEP) approved by the State.  Each state must maintain a Registry of all CNAs.  This registry contains information on whether an individual has a current CNA certificate.  Employers are required to verify currency of a CNAs certificate at the time of employment and upon renewal.
