How do I know if my CNA license is still valid?
I became a CNA in Illinois in May 2017, worked for a private PRN company during the summer of 2018. I know there's some rule about working at least one shift every 2 years to keep your license but I've never gotten anything in the mail to tell me if my license is expiring soon or not. Any insight? #healthcare #nursing #medicine #career #CNA #license #medical #nurse

Hi Anjali!
The Illinois Dept of Public Health has a healthcare worker registry. You can look up your license by name. Here is the link:

Hi Anaji,
In most states, you can look up your license online. This is often done through your state board of nursing website. Here in Arizona, renewals have stopped coming in the mail as well. We are told that it is our responsibility to know when we are due to renew our license. I hope you find that all is well with yours.
