To work as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Havre de Grace, you must meet the statewide CNA requirements set by Maryland. These include completing a Maryland Board of Nursing–approved nursing assistant training program and being listed on the Maryland Nurse Aide Registry.

  • At least 40 hours of supervised clinical practice in a Maryland-licensed nursing home
  • At least 16 hours of required OBRA instruction before any direct resident contact
