What Members Are Saying (AI-Generated Summary)

Members are discussing the process of receiving their CNA certificate after passing the exam, with some mentioning it took about a week to arrive, while others mentioned it took 2-3 weeks. They also shared information about transferring certificates between states and the importance of being in the state's database for job applications. Some members also shared their experiences with the certification process in different states.

Okay, so I passed the test, and sent my application to state. It finally all got processed and I am in the system, with a certificate number and everything.

But I was wondering about how long should it take for them to send me the actually certificate in the mail?

Thanks!

@romona_83 I just learned that where I got certified (Washington) you must apply for your certification after you pass the skills and written test. So after you finish your CNA program you will have to take the skills and written test and then do another application to get you state certification
