Delaware CNA: Suggested Study Strategy
Frequently Asked Questions
Who administers the Delaware CNA exam?
Prometric administers the Delaware Nurse Aide Competency Exam on behalf of the Delaware Division of Health Care Quality (DHCQ). The exam has two parts: a 60-question written test (90 minutes) and a clinical skills test (5 skills in 31-40 minutes). After passing both parts, your name is added to the Delaware Nurse Aide Registry.
What are Delaware's CNA training requirements?
Delaware requires a minimum of 91 clock hours of state-approved CNA training before testing: 75 classroom hours including laboratory time and 16 clinical skills hours in an approved Delaware licensed facility. Programs must be approved by the DHCQ. Complete the program and register for the Prometric exam through the DHCQ application process.
How many attempts do I have for the Delaware CNA exam?
Delaware candidates typically receive 3 attempts to pass each part of the CNA exam within 24 months of completing their training program. If you fail one part, you only need to retake that portion — not both parts. If you exhaust all attempts without passing, you must complete a new state-approved training program before testing again.
How do I maintain my Delaware CNA certification?
Delaware CNA certification runs for 24 months. To recertify, you must complete at least 24 hours of approved continuing education (Relias CEUs), including 6 hours of dementia training and 2 hours on abuse/neglect prevention, and work at least 64 hours for pay under the supervision of a nurse or physician during the certification period. CNAs who lapse must retake the Prometric written and clinical skills exams ($115).
How do I report abuse as a Delaware CNA?
Delaware CNAs are mandatory reporters under state law. Immediately report any suspected abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation to your charge nurse and document the incident. The DHCQ investigates all complaints involving nursing facility residents. A substantiated finding of abuse results in a permanent notation on your registry, disqualifying you from working in any Medicare/Medicaid facility in the US.
Can I transfer my CNA certification to Delaware?
If you are currently listed on another state's nurse aide registry as active and in good standing (with no findings of abuse, neglect, or misappropriation), you may apply for reciprocity to the DHCQ to be added to the Delaware Nurse Aide Registry without retesting. Contact the DHCQ at their Newark, DE office for the reciprocity application process.
