I don't have an answer just a comment I have been working as a CNA for fourteen years moved to another state they want me to do the same thing. I think once your certfied that should be it. How different is to care for residents in different states? I suggest you write to a the new state and see if you cannot challenge the cna exam and skills test without taken the course.oh by the way I am not a CNA anymore because of this I didn't brother to try to challeng the exam good luck to you.

1St of all contact the newyork board of nursing, They should be able to tell you if you need to retake the test or not.Some states you may have to re-test. You need to apply for "reciprocity"

you need to find a way to reciprocate your license from Florida to Arizona. Most states have that transferability. Go through a nursing license office.

Arianna in Riverside, New Jersey said: 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.

I moved to Arizona and they are giving me a problem. Stating my clinical and class hours have to show on my certification from 1992. The transcript from the school shows 208 hours and Arizona stated they can't except that . I'm still fighting with them because they require 120 hours.

Call the nursing board n ask what information is needed. Than apply online before u plan on moving and apply for some jobs. Call human resources @ jobs n inform ur transferring.

Make sure you print out an endorsement form fill it out. Before mailing make copies of transcripts and be sure it has clinical and theory hours separate. You will need to also have paper stating you passed state board testing, certificate from school that you completed nursing course, and to be safe copy of pay stub, and copy of nurses license or certificate. Mail in money order for $50.00. Apply for jobs online before coming to Arizona and get your finger printing done out here. The address is Office of Long Term Care 1661 E. Cambelback Road Suite 195, Phoenix , AZ 85016, . You will need copy of birth certificate or pass port and $12 for finger printing. If you have that done it suppose to make matters much easier but it depends on Arizona State Board of Nursing . Wish you the best.

In most cases you have to retake the cna test written and skills before you can work. I think this is bull if your a cna in one state you should be able to work any state.

Hi yes I have a CNA here in Indiana, but I am about to move to Washington State because my fiance is based there. I haven't worked in Indiana as a CNA yet, but I just got certified in October. So is there anyway to transfer it there so that I can get a good job starting out? If so who all do I need to call and get ahold of to do this? I really dont want to lose my certification. Any help would be nice before I move there please.
