Let's Get Cracking: Unveiling the Mystery of the CNA License
There are two main ways to crack this code:
The Name Game: Head over to the Washington State Department of Health's Provider Credential Search [Washington DOH Nurse Aide Registry]. Type in Sherlock Holmes-style (or just regular search bar style) the CNA's name. Be sure to select "Nursing Assistant Certification – NC" from the dropdown menu under "Credential Type." With a sprinkle of internet magic, a list of matching CNAs (and hopefully your ideal candidate) will appear.
License Number Look-Up: Got the CNA's license number handy? Even better! Pop that number into the same Provider Credential Search and voila! Instant verification, minus the suspense (although, a little suspense never hurt anyone, right?).
Important Note: This search function is a public service, so it won't show you everything. But the key details, like whether the license is active and in good standing, will be there.
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.
Uh Oh, My CNA's License Seems Suspicious! Now What?
