My best advice would be to take your state test as early as possible. That way everything you've learned will still be fresh in your mind. Make sure to be comfortable with preforming your skills portion of the test. As far as looking for a job, compose a well written resume, along with a cover letter. Doing both will impress your potential employers. Start applying for jobs soon. In some places the market is tight, and there are not very many openings available. Keep in mind that while you are legally able to be employed for up to four months before gaining your certification, some facilities will consider you for employment until you have the paperwork. Best advice, apply at as many jobs as possible. The more the better, you're at least bound to get a call back.

I'm living in Michigan, and have tested with Prometric. Most job applications are online now, and I need to fill in a certification number in order to apply. My problem is my paperwork, which I would assume would have this information on it, won't be in my hands for a few more weeks. After the test they gave me a print out, and it says something about my Prometric Testing ID. Is this my certification number? Where do I go to find out what mine is (if the Prometric Testing ID isn't my certification #)so I can start looking for employment? I really appreciate everybody's input!
