Yes it should be enough. You usually need 8 to 12 hours of work experience in the last 2 years preceding the date your license is expiring.

Hi, i have a certificate in NY and worked in a long term care facility in from 2009 to May of 2010, i never renewed my certificate when i got the form because i was no longer working as a CNA but now im trying to re-establish my certificate and just need to know if the time i worked during 2010 is enough to renew my CNA through my previous employer. Thanks

Hi, I currently live in WA originally from FL. I received my HHA (home health aide) certification from FL but would like to get a CNA license is it possible to just take the test for CNA with the HHA training? Also I am currently enrolled in college for my ADN and have taken all my pre-reqs but my nursing course does not start until fall 2012 and I want to work in the field ASAP.

Hi Marie,
As far as I am aware, you will not be able to do that. The only option would be to come back to Iowa and do the test and THEN start the reciprocity process. Please check with the Arizona CNA registry for further clarification.

I am currently in a cna training program in arizona.. I am moving to iowa after I am finished but there is a long waiting period between the course end and being able to take the exam. The schooling requirements in arizona are higher than iowas.. can I just take iowas exam instead of arizonas to avoid reciprocity?

Since the time elapsed is more than 2 years, you’d most likely have to retake the training and certification exam. You can contact the Kansas nurse aide registry to confirm.

Hi Kris,
You will need to retake the training and do the certification test again.
