I am looking for a job too CTH3989! I just passed the pre screening test for Sutter Health so I am waiting for an interview now:)

Renewing it is pretty much the same thing ...except the hands on part might be a little shorter depending where you go. It costs the same too..as far as I know.But if you are planning on working at a hospital be careful because some of them don't acc...

We don't have a license because we work under the Physician's license..that is another reason why we are able to do so much...We have to take an exam just like everyone else....clinical hours....and if we want to get "certified" or "registered" we ta...
