What the site covers
Transfer guidance with linked sources is available for 51 destinations. The interactive planner covers 51. All 51 state hubs also include reviewed training entry points, and details that still need confirmation are clearly labeled. The planner organizes published instructions; it does not decide individual eligibility.
All 50 states and DC (51 jurisdictions) have a reviewed program directory: 45 full and 6 partial. A partial directory reproduces the official source that was available at review and states its limits; it is not a claim that the list is complete or that every program is approved by the state CNA agency.
How guidance is maintained
Every state guide lists the official sources used, the date they were reviewed, and any points that still need agency confirmation. If a source is due for review, the planner says so instead of presenting it as current. A source-check date changes only after the source is reviewed again.
How conflicts and gaps are labeled
When two official sources disagree, the guide shows both positions and labels the conflict. When a detail was not published or could not be confirmed, the guide lists it under what to confirm. We do not choose the more convenient number or fill a gap with an estimate.
What this site leaves out
- Invented schools, approval statuses, fees, schedules or outcomes.
- Paid rankings, fake reviews or a live job board.
- Clinical or legal advice, or a claim to government authority.
- A claim that every state directory is a complete CNA-agency approval list, or that a short renewal summary decides an individual renewal.
How to read the coverage labels
Coverage labels describe how much of the selected source the directory shows. A directory marked “full” may cover only certain types of programs. “Partial” identifies a known gap. Workforce, college and testing-contractor listings alone do not establish approval by the state CNA agency. Each directory names its source and explains its limits.
The renewal guide summarizes renewal cycles, paid work, education, submission windows and options after expiration for all 50 states and DC. Not every instruction has been independently confirmed. The summaries distinguish a state registry requirement from training that an employer must provide. Check the official guidance for grace periods, alternative routes and required forms that may not appear in the table. The state agency decides individual eligibility.
Source-link checks can be blocked by an agency’s bot protection or network timeout. A blocked or timed-out automated check is not proof that an official page is gone. We review source availability before release and fix confirmed dead links; a blocked result stays visible in the maintenance record.
Use the contact page to report an accessibility barrier or correction. The corrections log records substantive published changes, not private correspondence.
Program directories and career information
Program pages list names, locations and contacts from the named source, with its review date. Inclusion is not an endorsement or proof of current approval. We list costs only when published by an official source or the school, with the date checked. Otherwise, ask the program directly. The Get Hired guide offers general job-search advice and does not list current openings. Career statistics say what period they describe and whom they cover.
Programs do not pay to appear in our directories or for placement within them. Any sponsored offer is labeled and appears separately. Read the editorial disclosure for how the site may earn revenue.
Review scope and professional limits
Our review checks public official sources, records review dates and validates the generated pages. It does not establish individual eligibility or constitute clinical review, legal advice or agency approval. Articles about CNA duties do not replace training or workplace supervision. The disclaimer explains these limits.
