How to if possible switch certification?

You do not switch, you need to contact the licening body in the new state and see if they will accept your credentials.

This same thing happens with an actual nursing license, you do not transfer that, but gain a new one if you move.:)

I am currently certified in oklahoma, i am needing to move to texas to go to a better school, but i don't know how to or if i can switch my certification or if i just have to get a new c.n.a in texas. Any opinions would help.

Hello, mommyto2,

Here are a couple links to the Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services that includes information on what you are seeking:
