Go girl! They aren't going to take that license away from you! See--they're giving you a pretty license. That's how much they like you.
In Iowa you get a paper card that you get to put a self-adhesive "lamination" thing on all by yourself. You also get a dinky little certificate looking thing made of paper with a shiny little seal on it. Nothing pretty. Hubby gets the same crud as an RN, so I have a lot to look forward to. We always laugh at the card we get. At least my Oregon license was heavy like a credit card and had some sort of holographic deal to it, but that wasn't my initial licensure. I wonder what other states give their licensees....

Every time I get something from the Virginia BON, I'm half-convinced that they're yanking my license because they're no longer so EC-friendly. Heh. So today I pulled a ginormous manila envelope from the mailbox, and I saw the return address and thought, "Ruh-roh ..."
Inside is my super-duper official nursing license! I got a small, utilitarian version back in August, but this one looks like a diploma! It's so pretty!
I'll have to frame it.
Funny timing ... tomorrow is my last shift on orientation. Starting Sunday, I'm the real deal! Yay!!
