Yes Robbie, everyone has to be tested. Its a federal law.

You need to contact the GA Nurse Aide TRaining Program and talk to them yourself. Find out what all you need to do to apply for the testing and if they will accept your education in lieu of the State Required courses. I would think so but they have to make that decisions.

Better to talk to Kathy Shoemaker directly. She is a very nice person. Be sure to take nots and have info handy about your previous training and experience as well as your Social Security card.
