dual licenses

Can you work as an LPN if you have a LPN and RN license? I make more at my job as an LPN than I would as a RN

Administration is telling me that I can't work under my LPN license although they're still active. Does anyone know anything about this?

It depends upon the state where you live. Some states do not allow it, others do.

Even if there's nothing in the state BON rules that prohibit it, a lot of employers won't allow you to do this because of the complications about liability and role/scope. If your employer isn't willing to permit this, it doesn't really matter whether or not it's allowed under state rules.
