Hello all. I am new to this website but thought I would give it a try.
I received my CNA lisence in May of 2000 when I was still in high school. I worked in that field for about 2.5 years. The nursing home I worked at wasn't so great and when I quit, I swore I would never work in that field again. Well I have since realized that it wasn't the field that was the problem, it was the specific nursing home I worked at. In the past 6 months I have been debating on going back to work as a CNA to get me back into the nursing field. I want to eventually get a degree in something in the nursing field but not exactly sure what route to take at this point but I know I definitly want to get back into health care.
I have a few questions for everyone. First is how many years does one's CNA lisence stay effective in the state of Maryland before expiring? Two is if it is expired, how would I go about getting it renewed?
I have heard different things from, I have to go threw the entire lisencing process again to, all I have to do is make a few phone calls and pay a small fee. I have no clue how to do this. Could somone please help? Thank you so much.
