@LaKeshia if you read the second document it says that she is and RN so make u really get all of the info

dondra u dont even kno wat u talkin bout…tryin to sound all smart

I AM HAPPY FOR KIM THAT SHE IS A NURSE EVERYBODY THINK THAT SHE IS A GOLD DIGGER AND PHAEDRA IS WACK SHE IS STUCK ON THIS THING WITH BE A SOUTHERN GIRL AND REALLY SOUNDING SILLY WITH THAT DAMN BABY SHOWER AND @KEISHA I HOLD MY RN BSN IN NURSING SO BIG UPS TO ALL OF THE NURSES

@SFTA, hello! I’ve seen this going around on the blogs for a while and it seems no one is asking actual nurses what the differences are between an LVN, an LPN, and an RN.

Kim Zolciak is NOT an RN. NEITHER of the documents above say "Registered Nurse", which is what an RN is (and what Kim Zolciak falsely claimed to be). BOTH documents above DO say "LPN", which is a "Licensed Practical Nurse".

So yes, Kim Zolciak LIED when she claimed to be Registered Nurse, and RN. It takes YEARS of edcuation and I knew off the bat from her previous career and the questions she had for Phaedra that she clearly was not an RN.

My sister is an LPN, having dropped out of school very early, but she went back to school and is working to become an RN.

Question: What is with everyone lying about their medical career credentials??? First the fake psychologist Tiye Muhammad, now the fake RN (Registered Nurse) Kim Zolciak?? Just say what the heck you are…people are so stupid they won’t even question what an LPN is anyway – they think all nurses are the same. The hell.

It seems that of all of the ladies on the show Kandi, Kim, and Phaedra, are the only ones that really have it together. People can say what they want about kim,like she lied about her age, and her occupation, in the end everything that people claims she lies about turns out to be true. Another thing that get’s me is when it comes to Nene and Kim, people love to blame Kim for the fall out. It was actually that ghetto ass Nene!

KIM IS NOT AN EDUCATED WOMAN!!!!! AN LPN IS A SHORT COURSE OF 9 TO 12 MONTHS AND WORKS UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A REGISTERD NURSE WHO EITHER GRADUATED FROM A 3 YEAR DIPLOMA SCHOOL, OR 2 YEAR ASSOCIATE DEGREE (COLLEGE) OR 4 YEAR BSN DEGREE. SHE DID LIE ABOUT BEING A REGISTERED NURSE AND IS PATHETIC/INSULT TO REAL NURSES. I USED TO FEEL SORRY FOR HER ON THE ORIGINAL SERIES/BUT NOW SHE IS JUST TRAILER TRASH!!!! EDUCATED PEOPLE TALK BETTER AND BEHAVE BETTER THAN HER!!!! P.S. KIM NEEDS TO STOP TELLING PEOPLE SHE IS AN RN/THIS IS CONSIDERED FALSIFICATION OF IDENTITY-THE GEORGIA NURSING BOARD CAN GO AFTER HER LEGALLY.

@ A Real Nurse I don’t believe that Sharon was saying that a LPN is not a nurse. She was just showing that there is a HUGE difference between a LPN and a RN. As a LPN, you know that and should also know that LPNs are not as educated in disease processes and their treatments. Hence the reason that LPN are not normally allowed to work in ICUs and are often given the most stable of patients on a floor. Yes, there are some aspects of nursing that a LPN has to be supervised by a RN. And yes, the state board of nursing can legally go after anyone who falsely claims to be either a RN or a LPN – including LPNs who claim to be RNs. In fact, the quarterly newsletter provided by my state board publishes pictures of "impostors" and how they attempted to gain employment as a RN.

Im an RN, prior to that I was a LPN. Kim’s license clearly states she has a LAPSED LPN’s license. She has never been a registered nurse…

I dont know WHAT Sharon is talking about, but I’ve NEVER heard of a 9 month LPN course. The very shortest is 12 months, and the LPN course I went through was 18 months. To say that Kim is not "an educated woman" just because she is an LPN vs being an RN is an ignorant statement in my opinion. There are 1000 other reasons for someone to say that Kim is not educated, but the fact that she held an LPN license is not one of them…

Also she is perfectly qualified to speak about OB GYN issues because that IS a part of LPN training and some facilities DO allow LPN’s to work in the postpartum and nursery units.

I do, however, think she’s pretty dumb for telling Phaedra that she was an RN knowing that she wasn’t and that information is totally googlable…

I am very sorry but she lied on t.v to make herself look better not to gain employment, so I highly doubt she would get in trouble for that. However age is a liar. As for she is dumb, yes she does act ignorant, but for the comments about her being dumb, she us making more money than an Lpn or RN and has something to fall back on. Doesn’t sound that stupid to me, maybe annoying but definitely not to dumb!!!

The main thing is kim LIED when she publically claimed to be a registered professional nurse when in fact she is NOT. She is a practical nurse. Much different. The important thing is that she is making false claims about herself. This shows her true character.

If Kim was smoking @ the Reunion Im sure all the cast & Andy would have got on her. & Im sure Nene woulda tweeted it or told someone to spread the word.

I think in 98/99 Kim had just had brielle so maybe that is why she did the LON program instead of RN program. She soon after got pregnant & married the rich man daniel toce’s son so she didnt need to work anymore. That may be why she let her LPN license lap.

Just saw the pictures of her and the baby in Life & Style magazine (July 11 issue). If you look closely enough you see she has nice tits. At least she has something going for her.

Excuse me but there is a huge difference between a LPN and A RN! I am a RN. LPN’s have a very limited education and are always under the supervision of a RN. LPNs are being phased out everywhere, as they have a very limited scope of practice and cannot operate independently! The fact that Kim lies and says that she is a RN is insulting to our profession i personally think she lacks the intelligence to ever become a RN ! She stated on Twitter last month that she also had her RN! Lie!!! No states have any records of such a license! Prove it Kim! You big phony

Sheree’s long nosed ass just wanted to start some shit becuz she’s losing her shine and her brokness is starting to get the lime light! She was ready to pull Kim’s wig off 2 seasons ago,now she’s a faithful friend of ten years? Yeah right! Her and Kim looked pathetic in that episode.Do they think were lames and don’t remember the shit they do?! #getittogetherVH1!!!!!

@Laveda-Believe me….my medical history and time spent with doctors and nurses is research enough. Every state has different laws.

Still cant imagine her being a nurse..I’m an LPN and we work our asses off..Kim is so lazy she had sweetie give her a vitamin B shot in one of the past seasons..smh

Sheree needs a job…so she riding Kim…to get Sweetie position or a spot on Kim &Kroy show soon… so she can fill the whole she bought. Do LPN’S work the nursery??? I know they work harder than a RN and are under paid but Kim stop talking bout that degree u won’t use ever again…

*Bachelor’s

And you only need an associate degree to be an rn

Thanks Nancy for helping me set it straight!
