If you previously had an online Pearson VUE account to register for examinations and/or manage your nurse aide registration, you'll need to create a new Credentia Platform online account. Click here to login and then click the "Sign Up" link on the login page.

When you create a new Credentia Platform account, all of the data from your old Pearson VUE online account will carry over to your new Credentia account.

To be eligible for continued enrollment on the South Carolina Nurse Aide Registry, you are required to work as a nurse aide at least one documented day (eight consecutive hours) for pay during the previous twenty-four (24) months, under the supervision of an RN or LPN.
