Nursing License AND CNA certificate

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I have a question about my CNA certificate.

I just got my LPN license in 09.

My CNA certificate will expire in a couple months.

Do i need to keep that up as well in order to work as

an aide when I am already a LPN ?

thanks

Specializes in VA-BC, CRNI.

No, but why woud you?

Its bad Ju-Ju to work under your highest achieved license...bad Ju-Ju.

I know this probably doesn't help much, but I would just contact the BON. Good thinking ahead!

Most state boards will remove your CNA and replace it with your current status as a LPN... At least they did in TN for me.

and yes it's bad ju-ju... wouldn't even try to attempt it.
