In-Facility Testing (INF) - In-facility testing is when your state approved Training Program Nurse Aide instructor has decided with Credentia to test at your training program on a specific date.
Healthcare Professions Profile Requirement
The Michael Skolnik Medical Transparency Act (section 24-34-110, C.R.S.) requires certified nurse aides to create and keep current an online Healthcare Professions Profile.
To create your profile, you will answer “yes/no” questions about your education, employer, disciplinary actions in any state, felony convictions, and crimes of moral turpitude. You can also enter information about awards and charity/volunteer work.
If you answer yes to:
1) disciplinary actions and/or restriction/ suspension of a CNA license; and/or
2) felony conviction (or crime of moral turpitude)
You must send a copy of the final document to the Division of Professions and Occupations. That document will be posted online with your Healthcare Professions Profile and can be viewed by the public.
When your information changes you must update your online Profile within 30 days. If you do not meet these requirements, you can receive an administrative fine and will not be able to renew your CNA license. If you have questions, or need to update your Healthcare Professions Profile, please see the DORA website at https://www.dora.colorado.gov/ or call the HPPP Helpdesk at 303-894-5942 or by email at dora_dpo_hppp@state.co.us.
