(A) When a licensed practical nurse becomes licensed as a registered nurse, the person's LPN license must be placed on inactive status.
(B) When a registered nurse becomes licensed as an advanced practice registered nurse, the person's RN license must be placed on inactive status. However, an APRN is authorized to practice as a RN while the person's APRN license is in good standing, unless otherwise specifically authorized by the board.
