Thanks Suzanne! I will definitely keep that in mind. I do want a license that I can move from state to state if need be. I plan on attending WVU School of Nursing to complete the BSN part. They are...
I don't wish to get off topic here, but to answer your question honestly - I am not sure. From what I was told by the WV BON you are able to transfer the license to other states that allow the same...
When I took the lpn boards, I paid my state fee first, then waited for my letter to take the boards arrived. If you pay both at the same time, and if the BON doesn't approve your application, not only...
suzanne4 - I use to be a 91c (practical nurse). If you were trained by the Army, then you are qualified under West Virginia code 30-24-2 (Qualification for examination for license as a registered...
wildcat - I can feel for you. I really do. When I graduated from lpn school I was immediately shipped overseas. Due to my location, I was not allowed to take the nclex for 3 years after I graduated....

I hope you are able to make your dream come true. It may take time, but keep working at it. Since i do not know where you live, I can give some information for Maryland. Whereever you live, try your...
Just a quick update and helper for Glascow. You can go to NOLA.com (on their forum boards) you can place your questions in regards to your friends if they are okay or not. I hope they are. I really...
I don't want to make something sound negative in light of what has happen. Being from the lower Alabama (30 minutes from the coast and all), I wish my best to all of the areas destroyed. I however do...
I know that Army trained 91c (practical nurses) their course work will transfer. Mine got me 30 credits alone when I went to get my rn. And plus, several states )WV and CA) will automatically allow...
