Your post was off-topic in the thread and forum where you originally posted it. I've moved it to a more appropriate place.

I would expect that you will need to have a SEC assessment. You've already taken one short cut and CARNA isn't really disposed to turn a blind eye to that sort of thing. If you're a registered nurse working as an LPN there's usually a reason for that. The registration criteria for RNs from many countries includes a SEC based more on education and not work history.
