If you are certified in Maryland, you must be a geriatric nurse aide (G.N.A.), NOT a certified nurse aide (C.N.A.), in order to be eligible for endorsement in Virginia. If you received your original certification in Florida, California, or Maryland PRIOR TO 1992, you will NOT meet requirements for endorsement as none of those states had competency testing meeting federal requirements prior to that date. Please note the following exceptions/additional requirements for selected states. We will contact you with additional information if it is necessary. However, some states do require a fee in order to verify your certification to us if we must mail it to them. Virginia does not require a fee to apply for certification by endorsement.
