Allow LPN's who have years of experience to be able to take the RN state boards and if they pass be grandfathered in..

There are thousands of LPN's who have 15 to 30 years med surg experience and cannot afford nursing school tuition, the hospitals wont hire LPN's as much anymore but instead bring in nurses from outside the USA who have no experience only because they have their RN degree..we believe the experience so many LPN's have is quite equal to further education...
