About CNA Simulator

CNA Simulator is an independent CNA exam practice site. We build practice that feels like the real nurse aide competency exam — the written (or oral) knowledge test and the hands-on skills test — and we explain how the exam works in each state.

How questions are written

Every practice question is original, written to the standard nurse aide competencies taught in state-approved training programs (residents' rights, infection control, safety, personal care, basic nursing skills, communication, mental health and social needs, the aide's role, vital signs and nutrition). Questions are not copied from any exam, testing vendor or prep company. Each question is queued for review by a licensed CNA instructor.

How we source exam facts

Exam formats, vendors, fees and rules change. We link the official source for every state-specific fact, show the date we last checked it, and avoid quoting numbers we can't confirm on an official page. Your state's candidate handbook always wins.

Not affiliated

We are not affiliated with any state agency, testing vendor (such as Credentia, Prometric, Pearson VUE, D&S Diversified Technologies, PSI or Southern Illinois University) or the NCSBN.
