Frequently Asked Questions

Who administers the Delaware CNA exam?

Prometric administers the Delaware Nurse Aide Competency Exam on behalf of the Delaware Division of Long Term Care Residents Protection (DLTCRP). The exam has two parts: a 60-question written test (90 minutes) and a clinical skills test (5 skills in 30 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 75 hours of state-approved CNA training before testing — the federal minimum under OBRA 1987. Training must include both classroom instruction and supervised clinical practice. Programs must be approved by the DLTCRP. Complete the program and register for the Prometric exam through the DLTCRP 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?

To maintain an active certification on the Delaware Nurse Aide Registry, you must perform at least 8 hours of nursing or nursing-related services under the supervision of a licensed nurse within every 24-month period. If your certification becomes inactive due to not meeting this requirement, you must complete additional training to reactivate it. Always update your address with the DLTCRP within 30 days of any move.

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 DLTCRP 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 DLTCRP to be added to the Delaware Nurse Aide Registry without retesting. Contact the DLTCRP at their Newark, DE office for the reciprocity application process.
