Nebraska CNA License: Complete Roadmap

Complete DHHS-Approved CNA Training
Enroll in and complete a Nebraska DHHS-approved CNA training program (minimum 75 hours following OBRA federal requirements). Programs are offered through community colleges, nursing facilities, and vocational schools statewide.
Physical Care Skills (40% of exam)You are here
Master personal care and basic nursing skills including bathing, grooming, dressing, vital signs, body mechanics, transfers, and positioning. This is the largest content area on the Nebraska CNA exam.
Role of the Nurse Aide (40% of exam)
Study communication techniques, resident rights under OBRA, legal and ethical behavior, scope of practice, and mandatory reporting requirements. Understanding your role is critical for exam success.
Psychosocial Care Skills (20% of exam)
Learn about emotional and mental health needs, dementia care, cultural competence, and therapeutic communication for residents with behavioral symptoms.
