CNA Recertification and Reciprocity

I was a CNA in the state of GA over 10yrs ago. I have sinced moved to NY and been a stay at home mom but would like to restart a career in Nursing once again. I wanted to know if I need to take the recertification test in GA and then apply for reciprocity in NY or can I just take the test here? Also what is the average salary for CNA's here in NY?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I'VE BEEN WORKING AS A NURSES AIDE SINCE I WAS 18 AND I HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED SINCE 2002.I AM A HARD WORKER AND I DECIDED TO WORK IN THE FIELD AGAIN.I'M CURRENTLY ATTENDING SCHOOL AT MCLENNAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOR NURSING(LVN)AND I AM LOOKING FOR A GOOD JOB UNTIL I GET MY DEGREE.

the easiest way for you is to take the test back in ga because vyou have been out of the field for so long if you wanted your cert in ny they would make you take the class and the test but as long as you were a cna in ga alls you need to do is retest and then transfer to ny thats what i had to do in mn to transfer to washington the test is 130 dollars now study first cuz if you fail you need to pay all over again.
