Late bloomer starting a new career in Washingto Dc

[Petitnurse2b]

Hi,

i am a late bloomer that decided to go for a new career at age 40. Had to start from the bottom so now i am currently enrolled in a CNA program in Florida. In December I will be finally done with my core classes and will be doing 2 weeks of clinicals. Just can't wait to start working again...i am as exited as a newly adopted kitten, but my hubby just transfered to Washington DC for a job and now I am planning to finish the school and follow him up there by the end of December. I am busy out of my mind keeping up by myself with 2 kids, a dog, a house to sell and all that comes with it. I would love if someone could help me out with the transfer of my certification from Florida to Washington. I actually don't plan on taking the test here in Florida as I was told that that could drag till January or February and I really want to reunify my family before that (My husband just got back from a year in Afghanistan!). Could you give me some direction on how to go about it without wasting more time considering i am already starting pretty late with my game? Ciao :typing

I know for your RN license, you just pay an extra $200 or so. Dunno about CNA licenses; have you tried looking at the DOH website for D.C.? The office folks are pretty friendly when I've talked with them (I moved to D.C. from Washington state).
