Are you a nurse assistant considering transferring your CNA license to a different state? Moving can be an exciting yet overwhelming process. Transferring your CNA certification can be a simple process.  With this blog post, we'll give you all the information necessary so that you can successfully transition your CNA license from one state to another.

Each state has its own requirements for licensing healthcare providers, including  CNAs and nurses. You must go through a reciprocity process to move your license from one state to another.

Step 4: Review the Rules and Regulations

Once your license is officially transferred and registered in a new state, the last piece of the puzzle will be to familiarize yourself with all its laws and regulations. Taking that extra step ensures you can continue providing quality care for those who need it!

What if My State Doesn’t Have Reciprocity? 

You must retake the CNA training and licensing requirements if your new state does not allow reciprocity or endorsement. Don't be concerned if this happens to you! Dreambound can help you find CNA schools near you.
