Nurse aide certification, then a state medication aide course and exam. Medication aide certification (State board of nursing or health department; some states use NCSBN's MACE exam; rules and titles differ by state). Where a license is state-issued, it comes from Nevada's own board, unless a multistate compact covers it.

At Nevada's middle nursing home, one nurse aide is on duty for every 11.0 residents at an average hour; the middle half of its nursing homes run from 9.7 to 12.5. 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 64 nursing homes report to Medicare from their payroll (Oct 2026); Nevada's nursing homes hiring here, home by home.

By the Nevada hospitals' own reports to Medicare (in 2022 pay periods, its own and contract staff together, before benefits), nursing aide hours averaged $24.84 an hour across 20 hospitals, against $23.53 an hour across the US. The highest hospital averages: Saint Rose Dominican Hospitals - Rose De Lima in Henderson ($36.21), Saint Rose Dominican Hospitals - San Martin Campus in Las Vegas ($30.74), Saint Rose Dominican Hospitals - Siena Campus in Henderson ($30.51), Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in Las Vegas ($29.89). An average over every hour, not one job's pay. Every Nevada hospital.
