Certified Nursing Assistant? A licensed CNA is the first step towards greater opportunities, if you
wish to continue your education and advance into a position as a LPN, RN, Physician Assistant, or
even a Medical Doctor. A CNA license may also improve your overall placement scores for a
Registered Nurse program.
TFN? We offer accelerated (one week) or standard (two week) preparatory classes and tutoring
sessions in a hands-on, clinical setting in preparation for the State of Florida Certified Nursing
Assistant clinical and written examination.
The State of Florida CNA testing requirements are the same for each candidate. You can attend any
organization you prefer for training. The outcome may be the same but you will save hundreds or
even thousands of dollars by attending TFN.
TFN requirements? A valid government issued, picture identification is required during registration
or your first day of class.
Your motivation, determination to succeed, ability to study independently and active participation
during class are essential to your success.
The dress code is casual with non-skid shoes. Scrubs are not required for class.
Age restriction and educational requirements? The minimum age requirement for licensing is age 17
for students with a high school diploma and parental consent or age 18, if you do not have a
GED or high school diploma.
State exam fees? Background screening, fingerprinting and testing fees are regulated by the state.
$93.00 (testing) + $34.00 (background screening) = $127.00. If you were not a resident of Florida for
at least five years, your FBI screening is slightly higher, $53.25. When you register for your state
examination, these fees are payable to Prometric not TFN.
TFN fee? Your $350.00 investment includes hands-on, personalized services to accommodate your
learning ability, CNA book, refresher session prior to your state examination, FREE stethoscope and
FREE blood pressure cuff for practicing at home to improve your chances of passing the state exam,
the first time.
Unless you require special accommodations for state testing, your total investment should not
exceed $496.25. Your TFN investment combined with your state testing fees are less than most
organizations providing similar services within the surrounding areas.
Dedicated TFN students who are unsuccessful on their state examination are granted an additional
FREE week in preparation to retest for the (failed portion) of the state examination.
If you did not attend TFN and you meet Prometric's retesting requirements, we can help you prepare
to retake the (written portion) of the state examination for only $75.00.
Two day "Skills Drill" sessions are only $200.00 with a skills drill book included for clinical skills
only.
Scheduling state exam? TFN will assist you with this process. We encourage you to contact
Prometric (administers the state exam) to schedule your state testing date by the time you finish your
preparatory class. The skills will be fresh in your mind and this will only benefit you with
independent studying.
Requirements for state examination? TFN will help you prepare for the state clinical and written
examination. Classes are provided for the (22) clinical skills evaluation and written examination as
required for state certification.
Previously failed state exam? Effective October 1, 2009, if you have previously tested and 1) passed
one portion of the exam, but have not passed the second portion in two years; or 2) failed one
portion of the exam three times, you must complete a minimum of 120 hours of training. Afterwards,
you must retake both the written and clinical tests, regardless of past scores. Click, the "Testing
Requirements" link below for more information.
License issuance? Upon completion of your preparatory class, successful background screening,
passing of the clinical and written state examination administered by Prometric, your license will be
issued by the Florida Department of Health not TFN.
Background screening required? Background screenings are a requirement of the state of Florida,
not TFN. A background check is not required to attend TFN. A criminal history screening will be
conducted by the state of Florida for licensing.
Prometric is required to collect additional background questions from candidates prior to
scheduling their exam. Click Prometric's link shown below to review the questions.
License valid in another state? Your license are invalid in another state. Each state certification
process differs. Contact the Board of Nursing agency for the state in which you are relocating to
obtain information regarding their process. Nursing Assistants certified out-of-state wishing to
transfer their certification to Florida may apply for reciprocity by calling 850-488-0595 or 850-245-4567.
Subject to renewal? Your license is valid for two years. When your renewal date approaches, a notice
will be mailed from the Florida Department of Health to your last known address.
Types of employment? With your license, you can apply for positions at Home Health Aide
agencies, Hospice care, Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities, Private care, and
much more. Depending upon the organization, a Certified Nursing Assistant average hourly
compensation from $9.00 to $15.00.
Typical job requirements? As a Licensed Certified Nursing Assistant, you will be expected to provide
routine care for the sick, disabled, and terminally ill patients.
Additionally, you may be required to transport patients, provide bed baths, change bed linens,
monitor vital signs, feed patients and help patients perform basic exercises.
You must be able to stand frequently, lift patients and bend.
You should complete a CPR Basic Life Support course for health care providers certified by the
American Heart Association. It is not a requirement for state testing or TFN class participation. CPR
certification is typically a requirement for employment.
The ability to read, write, perform basic mathematical calculations and comprehend instructions are
also important.
Job placement? Students who meet TFN standards are provided possible 'leads' for employment
opportunities. Job placement services are not provided. TFN does not promises nor guarantee
employment upon successful completion of class or successfully passing the CNA examination and
license issuance by the State.
