We are seeing more and more new grads begin their posting history here with using titles in their user name that they have not earned. Graduating from a nursing program does not give you the title of RN or LVN/LPN. That is conferred only upon passing of the NCLEX exam here or the equivalent in another country.

Please do not use the title RN, LPN,LVN, or nurse if you have not taken and passed the licensing exam.

This is per the Terms of Service that you agreed to abide by when you signed up as well as per the requirements of each and every Board of Nursing in the US.

We do not permit one to use other degrees that they have not earned as well, such as CRNA or CNM or NP in their user name if something else is not added to make sure that one would not assume that they have actually earned the right to use that distinction.

Thanks for your understanding on this.

Please refer to this change that has been made regarding pm's.

Please note that we have changed our private messaging options. Members now need to have 15 post in order to use our Private Message (PM) System and/or sending emails from member's profiles.

This was implemented to decrease the likelihood of people abusing our policy and soliciting members. If you get any PMs that are soliciting in nature, please report them using the icon in your PM. Thanks

If you wish, you can upgrade your membership and get access to send PMs right away.

Thanks for your understanding.

after we earn our license....is it possible to modify our user name?

For example, would I be able to remove the "2b" in my name once I officially become one?

as a registered member you can do it I think it is once a year and as a premium/platinum member you can do it a bit sooner. Alternatively you can ask admin in the admin help desk. Also if you make a mistake and can't change name then contact admin via the help desk
