There's a 2-year practical nursing program in some places. A LPN doesn't have the same responsibilities as an RN.

But given that this person lives in or somewhat near Seattle, epicenter of the USA's first big COVID-19 outbreak, it makes no sense she'd be working in a grocery store.

In March, the WA governor & state agencies put in place special emergency measures calling for & enabling anyone with any kind of health care training - licensed or not - from within the state as well as from other states to work in WA medical settings to make up for the staff shortages in those settings. When it turned out several months later that many HC workers in WA had gotten sick due to COVID, additional calls were put out for anyone with any kind of medical training to pitch in.

Yet this person supposedly with some kind of nursing degree/certificate or experience was working in a grocery store? Seems not to ring true. But then truth is not trans people's strong suit, is it?

Yeah, but she'd have almost certainly had to graduate HS, which she'd have had to do at 17 or younger. So she is either young for her class year or graduated early b/c she is an excellent student, which begs the question, why not go to college as someone who ticks all sorts of diversity boxes and could easily be admitted to plenty of schools. Seriously, this person is an admissions officer's wet dream. A hispanic, trans, female ? Winner winner, chicken dinner ! They would be bragging about how much scholarship money they awarded this person.

Also, if she actually had a certificate, there is zero doubt in my mind it would have been mentioned as in "who is a licensed practical nurse.." instead of how it was worded in the article. There are all manner of people claiming to be "street medics", just like there are tons of "press".. they use these fake titles to drum up extra sympathy when the cops beat their asses...one of these shitheads is going to end up trying to emulate a technique they saw on a hospital show and kill someone.

The area has a "running start" program where you skip to college at junior year of high school. I don't really know how it works, but a lot of people graduate at 19-20 around here because of it.
