You can inquire on your status as a state tested nurse aide by accessing the registry through the Internet, you may call the nurse aide registry and use the voice automated system, or talk to a nurse aide registry customer service technician. The database contains current (unexpired) licensee records and also records of licensees whose license has expired since January 1, 2000. You should call the registry to see if they can provide information for years prior to 2000 if your CNA license expired before that year. The number the Virginia Board of Nursing is 804-367-4515.
