Returning LPN

Published

I received by license several years ago, but was never able to practice b/c another job opportunity came that paid way more. 11 years later, and just laid off, I'm looking to use my LPN. My husband works days and we homeschool, so the plan is for me to find an evening/night position so I can continue to homeschool during the day. Is there anyone (RN/LPN) out there that has recently returned after an extended length away? Any advice?

Your first step will be to check with your state board and see what steps you need to take to be able to practice. I assume you have not maintained your license over the past eleven years?

They'll probably require you to take a refresher course.
