You might have seen a QMA. A QMA is an aide who takes a pharmacology course and is then allowed to pass certain meds. The class is time consuming, though, and they are used more and more rarely these days. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, the LVN license cannot ever be endorsed or transferred into any other state. You will need to complete an LPN program in its entirety. No shortcuts exist in attaining your LPN diploma because you are an experienced CNA. Good luck to you! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
