I believe you’re going to have to check with the Ohio BON for a straight answer on this.

It would seem that the RATIONAL answer to this would be no. You’ve already completed probation so why would you be re-sentenced for the same “crime” by the same licensing body?

However, I just recently saw another post on this site about someone in a similar scenario. I think they were going from LPN to RN, as well. They were worried as they were waiting for their BON to get back with a decision. I thought they were just being over-anxious (as we ALL have been about every single aspect of these programs). I was shocked when they received another compliance contract!

This makes little sense to me & I bet each state approaches this a little differently. If I were in your shoes, I would email your case manager for clarification (so you’ll have something in writing).

And congrats on completing your agreement!
