CNA License

Nursing Students CNA/MA

Published

Hello,

I took my CNA state test November 18th and I passed :)

Well, its been about 3 weeks and I haven't received the actual physical license card yet.

All I got was a paper that said Nurse Aid Registry Document and a small card-like paper that said the same thing. Not sure if that's my license or just a card saying I'm on the registry?

And I when I got to Prometric and enter in my number its telling me to call an representative.

I'm in Michigan and I'm not sure if I need to wait a awhile longer or something went wrong? Or should I call the testing site?

I'm just curious if I even get a license or just my name on the registry?

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks:)

Where I am they are certified and are in no way considered licensed. Only Lpns and RNs are considered licensed professionals.

It all depends on the state you're licensed/certified in. In Washington, I am granted a nursing assistant "certification" that must be renewed every year with an easy payment to the Department of Health. In Oregon, I'm granted CNA "licensure" that must be renewed with proper continuing education credits and employment records once every two years to the Oregon State Board of Nursing.

Regardless of word usage, if these become expired, I cannot work.
