Any reason for me to renew my CNA license after RN license?

This will be my first time renewing my license and wanted to get some advice before I give up my CNA license. Is there any reason for me to keep my CNA license after I have been licensed as a RN? Cost is $50 for CNA and $100 for RN renewal. I only got CNA license to see if I can get a job as one during the school, but I never even looked for one because the school was so busy... By the way, I'm still unemployed and looking for a first job out of nursing school :(I don't think any benefit in renewing CNA license, but I want to hear from others before I commit to letting it go. Thanks!

The fact that you have no job as a nurse should tell you.........

I'm hearing its even worse than when I graduated.... to find a nursing job. Why not get your foot in the door somewhere as a CNA......

More and more states are requiring CNA'S to hold a license, Arizona is a big one. The board of Nursing what's to hold them to professional standards and the right to discipline them so they are required to obtain a CNA license.
