| Posted over 5 years ago To my knowledge the only difference is the title name. (Probably specific to the state/region in which you live.) CNA=Certified Nursing Assistant or Certified Nurse Aid STNA=State Tested Nursing Assistant |

| Posted about 5 years ago Just take your state registration number with you where-ever you settle and then check with the state your in to find out how to transfer the registration or if there is anything else that they may require. I moved from Arizona to Washington state and it was simple. Good luck! |

| Posted about 5 years ago taimy there is an article in education about going from cna to lpn. if you don't wish to go to lpn but directly to rn, start checking out community colleges or universities in your area to find out the pre-reqs, the waiting periods and applications to be an RN |
