Specializes in Certified Med/Surg tele, and other stuff.

Did you sit for the RN or LPN? I would assume if you sat for the RN, passed the exam, you are considered an RN. The same with LPN. Hope that helps.

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

You are a RN if you took the RN exam in the same way you would be a LPN/LVN if you took the LPN/LVN exam. Taking the exam will not change your diploma to a degree.
