How we write these guides
- Every rule comes from the regulator's own page or the federal regulation, and each guide lists its sources at the end.
- Numbers come from official state data, such as program lists and pass-rate reports, never from estimates.
- We aren't nurses or CNA instructors, so we explain the rules and data rather than give medical or legal advice.
- When a rule or report changes, we update the guide and its date.
