Nurses need a certificate to work in a nursing home. This certificate comes from the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH).
To get a certificate, a nurse must:

- Complete an approved training program
- Pass an exam
Training is not needed if the nurse is already a Registered Nurse or Licensed Practical Nurse. Feeding assistants do not need this certificate.
