CNA Transfer to another state

I was certified and licensed in Florida as an CNA, but never worked their. I moved to Arizona and I am having trouble getting a job because they want me to retake the complete CNA course in their state. Is their away to transfer my license to Arizona even though I was never employed in Florida. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

I previously got my CNA License in the State of Florida and moved up to Kentucky. In order to get a license in Kentucky for a CNA, the hospital had be to call the Board of Nursing and they asked me for all my information on my license in which I held in Florida and just added on Kentucky to my license. Try calling the Board of Directors/Nursing and they should be able to help you. I was told that once you went thru the training and obtained a license that they don't put you thru that again. Good Luck! I moved back to Florid, but still plan on keeping a Kentucky license, in case I decide to ever go back.

Is your CNA certification still active? If it is then you dont need to re-take a CNA class in Arizona, you can get certification by endorsement. But, if your certification is expired then you will have to RE-TEST in Arizona.

im cna certified active in oklahoma.what do i do to get a cna certification in another state?

This is what I was told to do haven't tried it yet but recieved the info recently!!!!.........

You can transfer your certificate by a process called "reciprocity". Your certificate in Colorado must be in good standing(no history of abuse, neglect, etc.) and you must be listed as "Active" on Colorado Nurse Aide Registry. It is a process that requires several steps and some calling from your part.

You must call the Colorado Nurse Aide Registry first and request a "Application for Enrollment By Reciprocity". Ask them if you should send the completed form to them or to the state to which you are moving (California).
Then contact California Nurse Aide Registry and ask them the same thing.
Always get the name of those who talk with you and their phone numbers.
Once you have the application fill it out and send it to the Registry you have you (either your state or California -- this is why u call them to figure out where to send it once you fill it out).
For registry websites and phone numbers you can go to www.cnatips.com
Good luck!

to keep your CNA license you need to work 8 hours for pay every 2 years.

HI MY MOM LIVES IN OKLAHOMA AND WANTS TO TRANSFER HER LICENSE TO CALIFORNIA DOES ANYONE KNOW IF SHE CAN DO THIS OR WOULD SHE HAVE TO TAKE THE CLASS OVER? OR CAN SHE JUST SIT FOR THE TEST?

I just finished school here in Mesa, Arizona. I am about to take my state boards here, but as soon as I pass I am planning on moving to Colorado. Does anyone know if Colorado accepts Arizona CNA license?

I just finished & passed the CNA state board test for Calif.
I am planning on moving up to Oregon in a few years.
Do I have to take the class and state exam again, or is there a way that I can just transfer my license?
I will be working here in Calif. as a CNA until I move up there.
Thank you and if you can help me out...just send me an email.
God bless,
Theresa
