Dual License

[fasod]

Hello: I recently obtained my LPN in Illinois and am trying to finish my RN. Unfortunately my Mother's health is declining in Ohio and wondered if there is a way to get my license for Ohio also, should I have to return home? Thanks, Diane

You should be able to get your Ohio license by endorsement. Check the BON website for Oh and it should give you the information. I'm not sure about the LPN license, but I know it takes about 8 weeks to get your RN license by endorsement there. Hope this helps and I hope everything works out with your mom.
