I'm so sorry for you. By now your mom has likely passed, or she soon will. People can go a long time without food, but lack of hydration will take her first.

1) How do I apply to take my CNA exam? Please go to Prometric.com/nurseaide, select your state, and submit a completed application with signatures, supporting documentation, and payment. If your state has an online application (preferred), there will be a link on your state's page. For many candidates, using the online application is the easiest, fastest option. You need a credit card (not currently an option for NY candidates) for payment to complete the submission process on line.
