asked in License by Violet
I have recently acquired my CNA certificate for the state of Ohio. I'm moving to the state of Arkansas in two months. What will I have to do to get it changed over to a different state? I also have more than 10 years of experience in this field.

Having an active nursing assistant certification in Ohio makes you eligible to ask for certification by reciprocity in Arkansas. First contact the Arkansas Office of Long Term Care at 501.682.8430 to request the nurse aide reciprocity forms. The Arkansas LTC Office will contact you and let you know if you need to sit for the CNA certification exam or if challenging the exam is not necessary.

As far as I know only candidates with an inactive certification are required to take and pass the certification exam. The application to challenge the Arkansas nursing assistant exam can be found here. Send this application only if you are required to do it after you have been approved for reciprocity.
