RPN question

Published

I have a question. Could an RPN (psych nurse) Work as a LPN if she/he wanted to?

RPN checking in! You would not be able to get licenced as an LPN as far as I know. However- you could apply for LPN positions in areas you're qualified to work in (everything except peds and obstetrics), I suppose. I can't imagine you'd have much success...

You are definitely qualified for RN positions as long as they aren't in peds/obstetrics though. Lots of employers don't post jobs for RPNs specifically- they usually post for an RN but you still would likely qualify.
