Debbie Bennett in Orlando, Florida 35 months ago	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. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (52) / No (14) Reply - Report abuse

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. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (30) / No (2) Reply - Report abuse

jhatfield_08 in Santa Maria, California 34 months ago	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! - Was this comment helpful? Yes (17) / No (1) Reply - Report abuse

misslily in Phoenix, Arizona 25 months ago	CINDY in Monroe, Oregon said: can i transfer my oregon cna license to arizona if so how? hi i just moved from salem oregon to glendale az 2 months ago oregon is a non transferable state it takes time obtain any nursing lic. and you wont be able to work til you get one ,go to the az state board of nursing then you print out a 17 pg application packet 1 pg goes to oregon state board of nursing along with 10.00$ and the other pages go to az board of nursuing with $50.00 then you wait for finger print cards to come in the mail,this is the waiting game once the prints come back it my take another month or so and all you get is a piece of paper,not like the plastic card Oregon gives out.i just found my verification online and now they got my prints back so again wait wait wait.hope this works,if you do move to az it works out faster to just bring the app to them and they will give you a print card and send you some where it goes much quicker. - Was this comment helpful?

Joe in Rockville Centre, New York 25 months ago	I was trained and certified in Chicago as a CNA. I recently moved to New York in hopes that I can find work out here since I was not having any luck in Chicago. I transferred my license to the state of New York but would like to keep my license active in Chicago in the case that I land work there and move back. Does anyone know if when you transfer a license does it still stay active in the state you were trained and certified in. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (7) / No Reply - Report abuse

naera44 in Draper, Utah 24 months ago	I am moving to Arizona from Utah. I will be certified in Utah before I move. I was told that in order for me to receive an Arizona certification I would need to have completed a CNA program that consisted of at least 120 hours, or one that consisted of 75 hours plus 45 additional hours of working as a CNA before I could apply for an endorsement to transfer my cert to AZ, with a cost of course. You can go to www.azbn.gov I believe and pull up the requirements for out of state endorsements to apply for an Arizona Certification. Good Luck! I would suggest emailing somebody at the Arizona Board of Nursing, was more helpful to me than the receptionist there. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (2) / No Reply - Report abuse

betsy_riley3@q.com in Tucson, Arizona 24 months ago	If you want to get answers to how to transfer your C.N.A. lisence to Arizona or add Arizona, I suggest that you go to the State Board of Nusing for Arizona. Arizona has harder rules. If the website does not answer your questions there is a phone number on the site where you can call and ask them the questions that pertain to your situation. Sorry that I don't have the number to post. Good luck! - Was this comment helpful? Yes (2) / No Reply - Report abuse

Dejayna in Las Vegas, Nevada 22 months ago	Listen all my fellow CNA's, Any time you want to move from state to state you have to notify the state board of nursing that you want to move to. But please Please notify the state first before you move there and get license transfer first so you can have a job when you get there. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (2) / No Reply - Report abuse

kim in Gloversville, New York 21 months ago	check out some of your local nursing homes they are in desperate need of nurse's aides. Also check out the Nurse's Aide Registry for information on transferring your CNA or contact your department of Health and Human Services Agency they can advise you were to go. - Was this comment helpful?

Mariah in Idaho Falls, Idaho 21 months ago	You need to contact the state board of nursing in colorado BEFORE you move. I contacted Washington online and they emailed me back within a few weeks, they gave me directions on their site. Some states, like Washington, just need an endorsement, but they also specifically require 4-7 hours of AIDS/HIV classes. www.dora.state.co.us/NURSING/index.htm click certified nursing aid then click CNA license requirements or check out Application for Original License by Endorsement !! Good luck that's all I could find for you! - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse

Amanda in Enid, Oklahoma 21 months ago	I just moved to Oklahoma. I lived and worked in Arkansas as a CNA for year's but I let my license expire! I went to the hospital here and took the CPR coarse and I talked to one of the employee's here and they said if I wanted to that I could go somewhere online and challenge the test and take it without having to repeat the coarse!! That would be so great! If anyone has this information to tell me exactly what to do I would appreciate it because I feel I could do this! - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
