State Registered Nurse Aide (SRNA) Testing | SKYCTC

State Registered Nurse Aide (SRNA) Testing

After successful completion of the Nursing Assistant Course from either Southcentral Kentucky Community and Technical College or another training facility you may schedule to take the State Registered Nurse Aide exam.

The SRNA exam consists of a written component with 75 questions and a performance component of five skills. Upon successful completion of the exam, your name will be placed on the Kentucky Board of Nursing. 

You may take the test up to three times within one year of your training completion date. If you do not pass it after the third time, you will have to complete training again. If you allow the completion date to expire the year before passing the exam, you will also have to complete training again.

There are two entities that can schedule an online test.

  • An approved Kentucky Nurse Aide Training Provider, and
  • An individual that needs to schedule their own retake exam

Nurse Aide Training Providers

Approved KY Nurse Aide Training Providers are required to schedule their employees/students to test.  Retakes may be scheduled as well. 

Individual Retakes

An individual may schedule their own retake exam(s).  During this period of transition between the paper/pencil testing and the online testing, you will need to contact a nurse aide coordinator to obtain a retake code to the system.  

For additional information regarding online testing, please visit Online Testing.

  • Both (written and Skills) - $115.00
