This site has its very own Texas Nurses Forum. You could ask your question over there and possibly accrue some responses. Good luck!!!

If your floor does any palliative/end-of-life care, you might be interested in certification as a hospice and palliative care nurse. LVN's are eligible for that. Check out www.nbchpn.org . The only other LVN-eligible certification I could find with a Google search would be urology nursing.
