I was hoping someone can help me. I was a certified CNA and my license expired back in abour 1996. I live close to Boise, Idaho and wanted to know if I can renew my license or if I have to retake the course? Can anyone help.

Thank You,

Maria

Well I relocated from one state to another but in my current state I had to retake the entire course because it had been more than 5 years since I let my cert expire. I was a CNA from 1995-2000 and took a long break and changed careers. Now I need the CNA to get into the local Comm. Coll. Nursing Program so here I am again. 4 Saturday's of clinicals left until I can apply to take the exam again. Sucks. But oh well you gotta do what you gotta do.

Check with your state. In Maine you would have to re-take the whole course if it has been 2 years or longer without working as a CNA. Good Luck!
