I have been in nursing school for two years in florida. I have over 50 hours of clinical experience and over 50 hours of classroom instruction. Do I have to take a CNA class in WA or can I take a test to get my license?

It isn’t a long process if you have your paperwork in order. It normally takes less than six weeks.

I graduated high school back in may 2006 as a CNA and I haven’t worked as one since. Will I have to retake the course or if I can just take the test. I believe I am coming up on my five years I think. What can I do?

I am very interested in becoming an RN. My question is the protocal needed to obtain this position. I already possess a B.S. in an unrelated field. I have heard that you could obtain a CNA, then after gaining it work to gain your RN. I was wonderring if this was accurate and could be explained in better detail.

I got certified through my employer in 2004. My registration expired in 2007 in Texas. I am wondering if I have to train and test again or if I can just test to recertify

I am going to be moving to another state very shortly and I have done my research on transferring my CNA license…there was only one question I was unable to find…I understand that it says it is a tedious and long process but my question is, typically how long does it take for the transfer?

Not necessarily. You will need to check the requirements of the college where you want to get your LPN certification from. Having a CNA certification will however prepare you for a career in nursing as well as give you an edge over other candidates in a limited seats LPN program

Hi Olivia,
NAC – Nursing Assistant Certification. It is the same as a CNA. It would be really difficult to do your training in one state and certification in another. A lot of times states differ in their training requirements so unless Mn and Wa have the same training hours requirements it will be hard to do the test in Washington. I would suggest doing the training and test in Minnesota and then transferring your certification to Washington at a later date.
