My South Carolina RN license is in inactive status since 4/2014 as I didn't have work authorization to renew it. I recently finished a CNA course ( state certification testing pending) because I wanted to work at least as a CNA and get healthcare exp...

well she said when I do the CNA certification the registry will show that I'm an RN with inactive license. Or she said I need to have taken my nursing fundamentals within 2 years in order to get certification. I know..... I was surprised too. She sai...
