What I had to do here in Texas was call the Board of Nursing and they directed me to the Nurse Aide Department by giving me the number. Once I called they sent me the info. I needed to transfer my certification from MD. to Texas it takes a week or two but it's worth the wait. Try calling that state board of nursing they should help you get all the info. you need to transfer. Good Luck!

You will just call or go on line to the MD.Board of Nursing it takes no time to do and you can get a job asap in MD.

go online t o the oklahoma nursing registry it will ask you to type in your license number if you dont have it thats ok it will look you up by name. most certifications are only good for one to two years depends on the state if you have not worked as a cna in more then two years they will make you retest you don't have to take the class just the test. hope this helps.
