Q. What if a Nurse Aide is certified in another State and they are moving to Kansas.

A. If the Nurse Aide’s certification is active in the other state, in good standing and has never been certified as a CNA in KS, the Nurse Aide can request to challenge the KS Nurse Aide Test once. An Interstate Application will need to be completed and mailed or emailed back with the required information and the $20 non-refundable fee. There is also a Credit Card form available if it will be emailed. That form can be found on Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services website. However, any candidate who fails the Kansas Nurse Aide test on the first attempt must enroll in a state-approved nurse aide training course.
