Cna State Question! Pls Help!

[Louisepug]

Hi everyone. It's Louisepug...again:rolleyes: (just kidding:chuckle ) But really, it's almost 1 am. and I'm on the forum AGAIN. I just had one more thing that I was thinking about that I hope someone can answer. I will be CNA certified in May in Illinois, but then I'll be moving back to Ohio in the summer to go to RN school in the fall. If I want to work as an CNA next summer when I move back in Ohio, do you think I'd be able to even if I became liscensed to be a CNA in Illinois. Would I have to take some kind of exam in Ohio or just pay for a liscence in another state??? Don't know if any of you know this, but you all have been great help so far so this is where I turn now:kiss ! Thanks, Louisepug

to Ohio. I would like to work as a nurse aide in Ohio. How do I go

about it?
