Checking a nursing aide qualification is a simple process.
When you need to verify the training of a nursing assistant in North Carolina, you can check with the state's Nurse Aide I registry. Those listed on the registry have received state-approved training and competency testing. The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services maintains the database.
Instructions
1. Log on to the Internet and go to the website of the North Carolina Health Care Personnel Registry Service.
2. Type in the Social Security number of the person you are looking for and click "Submit."
3. Write down the confirmation number. If the person you checked on who claimed to be on the registry is not confirmed, you can call the department on 919-733-7615 to check the status of the person and for further investigation.
4. Ask the person if she is registered in another state. Using the North Carolina Personnel Registry, you can search other states as appropriate. Some allow this to be done online, although others require you to call.
5. Inform the state health department if someone is falsely claiming a qualification, regardless of the job she holds now.
