Renew your CNA for FREE!

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING WAITLIST APPLICATIONS. NEXT APPLICATION REVIEW PERIOD WILL BE IN MARCH 2026.

Hillcrest Health & Living provides an amazing opportunity for those looking to jump back into healthcare!  

We are offering the chance to select candidates with a strong interest in inspiring people to live their best lives to reactivate your lapsed/inactive CNA certification for free.  

This program requires at least a six-month employment commitment working full-time or part-time at one of Hillcrest’s skilled nursing facilities after completion of the CNA recertification. 

Due to state requirements, we can allow you to work in a restricted position immediately following completion of the recertification until your license is showing active on the DHHS registry.

What should I have to be considered for this program? 

• A clear background screen. 
• Must be willing to work at least 20 hours a week. 

• Reliable transportation.  
• Compassion and dedication to care for others. 
• A lapsed or inactive CNA license in the state of Nebraska. 
  
  

The CNA recertification is completed through our partner, Quality Career Pathways. They offer two different renewal options:  

• Re-test – this offers you a chance to retake your skills and written exams. (Best option for those who recently lapsed/worked as a CNA less than a year ago).  
• Refresher course – this offers you the ability to take a 3-hour class followed by retaking your skills and written exams. (Best option for those who have been lapsed for a year or more).
