Q. What if a Nurse Aide is certified in another State and they are moving to Kansas. A.

An Interstate Application will need to be completed and mailed or emailed back with the required information and the $20 non-refundable fee.

However, any candidate who fails the Kansas Nurse Aide test on the first attempt must enroll in a state-approved nurse aide training course. |
