CNA Certification Tracking
Track Certified Nursing Assistant certification and renewal across your care team.
Why this gets hard to manage manually
CNA certification is administered through each state's nurse aide registry, with its own renewal cycle and requirements. ComplyNestly tracks certification status per employee so a facility always knows who's currently active.
CNA certifications can lapse if a certified nursing assistant goes too long without working in the field, which means an otherwise-good employee's certification status can change without anyone in the office noticing until it's checked.

Frequently asked questions
How often does CNA certification renew?
Renewal cycles are set by each state's nurse aide registry and commonly involve both a time-based renewal and a minimum-hours-worked requirement to avoid lapsing. Confirm your state's specific rules.
Does ComplyNestly verify certification against the state registry?
No — ComplyNestly tracks the dates and status you record. Verifying against your state's nurse aide registry is a separate step you'd perform directly.
Is there a free way to try this?
Yes. The Free plan supports up to 5 employees and 1 location, no credit card required.
Where this information comes from
CNA certification is administered at the state level through individual nurse aide registries — requirements and renewal cycles vary. ComplyNestly does not verify certifications against any state registry or provide legal advice.
