I've already got a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and decided I wanted to go back to school and get my Bachelor of Nursing degree and become a Registered Nurse. Psychology has always been an interesting field of study for me and I feel that being able to work in a mental health setting would be very interesting. Once I'm done school and become an RN, is it possible to become an RPN? Can you hold the designation of both a RN and a RPN at the same time? Or do you just have to be one or the other? If you can hold both designations at the same time, what other classes would I need to take to pass the RPN exam? I can't seem to find out if I'd have to take a couple more years of schooling just to pass the RPN exams, or if my previous degree in Psychology coupled with the RN nursing degree would be sufficient to just go and write the RPN exam right after writing the RN exam.
