IGTMI75,
welcome to allnurses.com!
CNA's in GA have a FOUR month grace period in which they can work without being certified. after the four months expires, you have to have been certified.
please see the GA Nurse Aide Registry's website as proof of this.
JUST CLICK HERE!
you can also call 678-527-3010 or 1-800-414-4358. even if you show your "certification card", your employer still must verify that you are on the registry. Go ahead and start your job search and best of luck to you.
sincerely,
jay
