There are several steps (outlined here) that must be completed by the CNA candidates, training programs, Prometric staff, and DOH/Board staff before a candidate can be deemed eligible and scheduled to test. The FL Department of Health/Board of Nursing and Prometric collaborate to ensure potential CNAs test as quickly as possible. For the latest updates regarding COVID-19 in general and best practices for overall health and safety, please visit. Candidates must also follow any site requests or restrictions to test with Prometric. Site entry restrictions may vary by site and include such things as proof of COVID-19 testing (IFT sites only), temperature checking, sign in logs, etc. Site specific, local and state guidelines may also apply and must be followed. Please be advised that testing sites may also have their own safety guidelines. You will be prohibited from testing if you don’t have a mask. Prometric guidelines require that a candidate must bring and wear a mask (without an exhalation valve) at all times and follow the instructions of the Nurse Aide Evaluator. While much about testing will remain the same, Prometric has instituted new safety procedures for all Nurse Aide testing events in response to COVID-19, including special training for our staff, additional cleaning at testing sites, and a new mask requirement for all test takers.

Written/Oral and Clinical Skills exam will be administered to all candidates as required by regulation. We will reschedule any impacted candidates as soon as we can, and appreciate your patience as it may take some time to get all sites operational again. Prometric resumed nurse aide testing in Florida on June 21, 2020, where allowed by local jurisdictions and as supported by available testing sites and staff. Our responses have taken into account numerous perspectives, including governmental policies and information provided by local/global health organizations. Prometric has been actively engaged in identifying and responding to the potential health risks COVID-19 poses to our test takers, staff, and other individuals.
