State Exam
When somebody talks about taking a "state exam" to be a medical assistant,just what are they talking about? I have seen it on other message boards and I don't get it. Are there any states that actually do that? |

There is only a national certification exam. No state except California (please correct me if I am wrong) requires "state" credentials.Medical assistants have reciprocity which means when we relocate our certification goes with us. RNs and LPNs have to take a state exam if they relocate to work in another state.We do have to recert every 2-5 years, depending on the organization you tested under.Hope this answers your question! |

RN's and LPN's do not have to retest in order to work in a different state. We can be licensed in multiple states or apply for a license in the state we choose to work in. |
