CNA License

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hey everyone, so i passed to become a CNA in july but i have not sent for my license yet, and i must renew it next month but since i never sent for the license what does that mean? I just have to renew the license i never got or just send the application and with the fee? I havent activated my license because i cant even get a cna job until im 18. Next month i will be 18 though. So i guess the main question is if it was bad to have an unactive license until i turn 18 when i have to renew it? This probably confusing but i am confused about the process. Should i send for my license right now and just renew it next month? If you can try to help it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Yes your post is kind of confusing but I'm not really sure what the answer to your problem might be because I'm pretty sure since every state is different we most likely really can't answer your question, I'm sorry, it's just that some states have certifications and some have other things and sometimes (usually) you won't get a renewal notice until you get a license first or whatever is the procedure for your particular state.

Really, the only 100% accurate answer for you will come from whatever agency issues your certification or license.
