what is printed on your license

hello,everyone

I would like to know, when you take the nclex exam for your RN license will it state on your license that you are a" LVN_RN Bridge" nurse. (if someone completed the lvn-rn program) or will it just state "RN"?

I know quite a few RN's that bridged and their badges say RN. I was ubder the impression that an RN is an RN is an RN.

We don't get licenses anymore but on the BONs web site I have two lines one that shows my LPN and one that shows my RN. It lists both schools under my education for my RN but I doesn't say anything about the type of progam other than that it is an ADN. FWIW A friend of mine that got her LPN first years ago when you then had to take the entire RN program from the beginning, what a rip off, also has the two lines one for LPN one for RN.

We don't get one it is all electronic now.

if you graduate from a bridge program and pass RN boards .. then it says registered nurse on your license... your LPN license should be made inactive when it expires because you don't need both

In my state, the way we tell the difference on the license is that RNs' ID #s begin with 1, and LPNs' begin with a 2.

I've had to look at a lot of licenses as part of the hiring process. They all look the same and just say "RN" or "Registered Nurse" on them. I have never seen one that indicates the level of education preparation. The license is a legal right given to you by the state and that's all they are interested in. If you want to impress an employer with your education, take a copy of your transcripts and your diploma with you to interviews, but I'll tell you right now, no one will be interested in them. All anyone is interested in is your work experience.

Here it would just say Registered Nurse. On the state licensing database the LPN license history would appear as a separate entry with the same person's name on it. After someone completes an LPN (or LVN) to RN program he or she become an RN, not an LPNtoRN or something like that.

That's the same way it works here !!
