But I am licensed in VA…..?


This Question From Navy LPN Programs | 1 Answer


Hi. I am currently an LPN (4th year) who is presently in the beginning stages (taking pre-reqs) toward my RN. I know I need to get into a nursing program preferably before my 6 year mark is up, BUT an obstacle has come into play. My husband orders will be up in Feb. He cant re-enlist until Dec because his current job is overmanned. (EM3 – Navy)So we wont know until then if we will be stationed somewhere else. (He is up for shore duty). I dont know what to do. Will I be able to do a bridge (LPN-RN) program in another state? Will I have to be licensed there? Will I have to stay in VA while my husband is in another state, just to get my education? How will that work? Is anyone familiar with this type of situation?

    Make an appointment with your academic counselor and get advice about this. This is something I’ve never encountered before but I’m sure it can be done and your credits can be transferred to another school. You must be licensed for the state in which you plan to practice and state BRNs prefer local education and clinicals.
