You must pass both the written and skills portions of the NNAAP® competency evaluation to be listed on the North Carolina Nurse Aide I Registry. After successfully completing both portions of the exam, your name will be submitted to the North Carolina Nurse Aide I Registry for listing. It generally takes two (2) to five (5) business days, not including weekends or holidays for your name to be listed on the registry. Exams requiring hand scoring will take longer.

Your listing will be available for verification via the registry at: https://ncnar.ncdhhs.gov/verify_listings1.jsp
