If you haven't worked for pay as a CNA in the last two years then most likely you will have to re-take the CNA exam. This is the way to become re-certified in many states. The usual work requirements within the 2 years prior to renewing one's certification are 8 hours of paid work as a CNA under the supervision of a RN. If you do not meet these requirements then your certification goes into lapsed status. You need to re-test. For a link to your state's NAR (nurse aide registry) where you will find forms and applications for re-taking the state exam you can go to CNA Certification and Training Information, choose CNA Registries and select your state from the map. Good luck!Originally Posted by BooBoo27
