About this file
This is a New Jersey legislative act file (Chapter 18) that establishes certification application requirements for nurse aides from other states or U.S. territories seeking to work in New Jersey, as overseen by the New Jersey Department of Health. The act outlines the conditions under which out-of-state nurse aides can have their certifications entered into New Jersey's registry, including requirements for current valid certification documentation, clean criminal history, background checks, and either completion of continuing education hours within 24 months or equivalent work experience of two years full-time employment with the most recent employment within 24 months of application.
The act specifies that applicants qualifying through work experience must complete both clinical skills competency examination and written/oral competency examination to verify they meet New Jersey's training requirements. The legislation was approved on January 31, 2019, and grants the Commissioner of Health authority to adopt necessary rules and regulations for implementation through the Administrative Procedure Act.
