[llg, PhD, RN]

I recommend clarifying your nursing status -- not lumping it all together under "education." I can't tell what your current status is. Do you currently have an LPN license? If so, list it and give the state and license number. When do plan on graduating with your ADN? Are you going to be an RN in a couple of months ... or not for a couple of years? There is no way to know any of that by looking at your resume.

Does that make sense?

[djnme2000]

Yes I just passed my state boards and am a licensed lpn. I will graduate in May with my ADN. Thanks that does make sense. Thanks.
