Licensing Board and Data Source
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission adopts rules for the regulation of persons wishing to practice as certified nurse aides in Texas.
Information regarding the licensure requirements and responsibilities of certified nurse aides can be obtained on the website of the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
*In September 2013, Texas began requiring certified nurse aides to submit proof of continuing education to the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services in order to renew their certification. Additionally, in November 2013, certification standards were changed to require Texas certified nurse aides to pass all five sections of the national skills test in order to achieve certification. Previously, certified nurse aides in Texas were required to pass a Texas-specific skills test. This likely explains the drop in the number of certified nurse aides from 2013 to 2014.
**In October 2014, the certification standards were changed to require passage of only four out of five sections of the national skills test in order to be certified.
***2015, 2021, and 2022 supply tables were updated May 2023.
