Please read the following certification eligibility route descriptions carefully to determine the one that is most appropriate for your situation.  \nRoute 1—Testing Candidate  \nSelect this certification option if you completed a Hawaii State-approved nurse aide training program. You will select this route if you are a new nurse aide never certified in the State of Hawaii.  \nTo apply for testing under Route 1:  \n􀁸 Complete the Application form (see Page 19);  \n􀁸 Provide Prometric a copy of your training completion document. (The training completion document or certificate must include the date you completed your training and the official name of the training program);  \n􀁸 Determine if your training program will be scheduling your tests at your training site or if you will need to request testing at a regional test site; and  \n􀁸 Mail application materials to Prometric with the required exam fee and documentation required for your exam. (See the “Fee information” section on Page 4 for further details.)  \nImportant You must pass your Competency Exam within two years of your first testing date and within three attempts. If you do not pass both parts of the exam within two years of your first testing date or within three attempts, you will be required to retrain and retest.  \nRoute 2—Reciprocity/Out of State  \nSelect this certification option if you have been certified as a nurse aide in another state. The DCCA will determine whether you will be added directly to the Hawaii NA Registry or whether you will be required to take the Competency Exam.  \n􀁸 Complete the Application form (see Page 19);  \n􀁸 Provide Prometric with a copy of your current active CNA certificate. (Certificate must include expiration date and name of the state you are transferring from);  \n􀁸 Mail application materials to Prometric with the required fees and documentation (See the “Fee information” section on Page 4 for further details.)  \nNote Prometric will contact all other states to verify your status on their Registries before transferring your certification through reciprocity. If your certification is not current (active), you will be required to take the Competency Exam.  \nRoute 3—Lapsed/Expired Nurse Aide  \nThere are two paths a candidate can take when under the lapsed route.
