Nursing Assistant Certification first issued in 2012

1,347 of Washington’s 59,078 active nursing assistant certification credentials — 2.3% of them — were first issued in 2012.

The 2012 intake, and where it stands now

These 1,347 people were first credentialled as nursing assistant certification during 2012 and are still active today. A first-issue year is the closest thing this register has to a start date: it says when the Department first recognised someone in this role, not how long they have worked in health care.

4 of the 1,347 active credentials in this group carry a disciplinary flag in the Department’s file — 0.3% — and 5 carry one marked pending.

This site publishes that count and no more: never who. The reason is not discretion, it is accuracy — the published file carries a yes/no flag and nothing else: no reason, no date, no case number. Naming someone on the strength of it would publish a suspicion rather than a fact. Every credential counted here is active. Why the line is drawn there.

Do not let the date pass

1,347 credentials of this type were first issued in 2012. Washington renews most of them on the holder’s birthday, every year or every two years, and continuing-education hours have to be done before that date — not after. Leave your details and we will tell you when yours is close, and pass your request for continuing-education hours to providers who teach for this credential.

We take no commission and we vouch for no training provider. We have no arrangement with any provider today — we are collecting these requests in order to go and find them. What we do with this.
