Michigan CNA License: Complete Roadmap
Follow this path to maximize your chances of passing on the first try
Complete LARA-Approved CNA Training
Enroll in and complete a Michigan LARA-approved CNA training program (minimum 75 hours). Programs offered through community colleges, healthcare facilities, and vocational schools.
Personal Care & Basic Nursing SkillsYou are here
Master personal care (22%) and basic nursing skills (20%) — together making up 42% of the exam. Focus on vital signs, body mechanics, transfers, bathing sequences, and proper documentation.
Infection Control, Safety & Emergency Response
Study hand hygiene, PPE, standard precautions, fall prevention, fire safety (RACE/PASS), body mechanics, and emergency procedures. These domains total 23% of the exam.
Michigan-Specific Regulations & Resident Rights
Focus on LARA regulations, Michigan Nurse Aide Registry requirements, mandated reporting to Adult Protective Services (1-855-444-3911), OBRA resident rights, HIPAA, and the Michigan Long-Term Care Ombudsman program.
Clinical Skills Practice
Practice all clinical skills from the Headmaster skills list. Know each step perfectly — handwashing is typically always included. Review the skills checklist and simulate the 30-minute skills test. Missing critical steps results in automatic failure.
