LPN License if Lose / RN License

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hello,

I am posting out of concern for a friend of mine at work.

We are new RN's and she has gotten caught up in someone stealing meds ( not verifying the counts and paperwork - not the stealing itself) so her license is in jeopardy. Her LPN license has not expired. If she has her RN license suspended, can she work as an LPN?

Thanks!

No, she can't. Like other poster said, it reflects on all licenses.

Your friend needs to consult a lawyer.

I imagine that disciplinary actions would have to be reported to all the boards that she holds an active license with...and if it's one BON that handles all nursing licenses, the LVN division is going to find out.

We can't provide legal advice: she would have to consult a lawyer.

This is something that only her BON can tell her.
