Incorrect. You do not have to be an LVN. She is an LPN already so she will be fine. And yes Excelsior did use to be called Regents. BTW something you may wish to think about. I dont know how it works where you are. But here in florida you are allowed to challenge the paramedic exam if you are an RN and have graduated from an approved EMT program. Not trying to steer you from the medic program or anything. Just food for thought. Your state board can tell you more.
