Oregon CNA Certification Overview

To become a Certified Nursing Assistant in Oregon, you must complete a state-approved CNA training program and pass the Oregon Nurse Aide Competency Evaluation administered by HDmaster (D&S Diversified Technologies) on behalf of the Oregon State Board of Nursing (OSBN). Oregon requires a minimum of 155 hours of CNA training — one of the highest minimums in the country — including at least 75 hours of supervised clinical practice. Oregon's extensive training requirement reflects the state's high standards for long-term care. The exam has two parts: • A written (or oral) knowledge test: 70 multiple-choice questions, 2 hours • A clinical skills evaluation: demonstration of 5 randomly selected nurse aide skills You must pass both parts to be listed on the Oregon Nurse Aide Registry. The passing score is 70%.

All 70 questions come from six content areas: • Physical Care Skills (45%) — bathing, grooming, feeding, transfers, positioning, catheter care, elimination • Safety & Emergency Procedures (14%) — fall prevention, RACE fire protocol, Heimlich maneuver, seizure response • Infection Control (14%) — handwashing, PPE donning and doffing order, isolation precautions • Resident Rights (11%) — OBRA regulations, right to refuse care, privacy, abuse reporting • Psychosocial Care Skills (8%) — therapeutic communication, dementia care, end-of-life support • Role of the Nurse Aide (8%) — scope of practice, documentation, chain of command Oregon's healthcare sector is growing rapidly, with increasing demand for CNAs in both urban and rural settings.
