Nurse aide certification, then a state medication aide course and exam.

Where a license is state-issued, it comes from Alabama's own board, unless a multistate compact covers it.

At Alabama's middle nursing home, one nurse aide is on duty for every 9.9 residents at an average hour; the middle half of its nursing homes run from 8.7 to 11.1. Day shifts have more staff on the floor and nights fewer, so a day-shift aide usually has fewer residents than this and a night-shift one more. From what 221 nursing homes report to Medicare from their payroll (Oct 2026); Alabama's nursing homes hiring here, home by home.
