Posted Tuesday, January 13, 2026 at 5:00 AM

CURRENTLY ACCEPTING WAITLIST APPLICATIONS. NEXT APPLICATION REVIEW PERIOD WILL BE IN FEBRUARY 2026.

Hillcrest Health & Living provides an amazing opportunity for those looking to jump back into healthcare!

We are offering the chance to select candidates with a strong interest in inspiring people to live their best lives to reactivate your lapsed/inactive CNA certification for free.

This program requires at least a six-month employment commitment working Ծ full‑time or part‑time at one of Hillcrest’s skilled nursing facilities after completion of the CNA re certification.

Due to state requirements, we can allow you to work in a restricted position immediately following completion of the recertification until your license is showing active on the DHHS registry.

What should I have to be considered for this program?

• Must be willing to work at least 20 hours a week.
• Reliable transportation.
• Compassion and dedication to care for others.
• A lapsed or inactive CNA license in the state of Nebraska.

The CNA re certification is completed through our partner, Quality Career Pathways. They offer two different renewal options :

• Re-test – this offers you a chance to retake your skills and written exams. (Best option for those who recently lapsed/worked as a CNA less than a year ago).
• Refresher course – this offers you the ability to take a 3‑hour class followed by retaking your skills and written exams. (Best option for those who have been lapsed for a year or more).

If this is a program you are interested in, please apply online at  and a recruiter will contact you to qualify you for the program.
