[Marie_LPN]

Brian,

Regarding "false advertising" (for lack of a better name for it) user names, for example, me using the name Marie RN, when i'm not an RN or if i were using the name Marie LPN if i were still in LPN school and not a licensed PN.

I did a search, because i could have sworn that someone in a thread mentioned that doing this was a no-no, yet there's nothing in the TOS regarding it?

It's part of the revised signup info...

When we are alerted or find posts indicating members are students yet signed up with credentials or see posts that have conflicting information, the Mod/Admin team contacts new members for clarification.

Admin Team edits names at any time to conform to signup & TOS guidelines.... I'd much rather have fun reading threads or posting links.
