How does one go about registering a LPN (licensed practical nurse) qualification in Eservices. Can you wear the medical badge?

CAPM 39-1, Page 108:
https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/media/cms/M391_E6F33EAAEC28A.pdf
"10.4.4. Nurse Officer Badge. A health service officer in a nurse category appointed as required by CAPR 160-1. "

CAPR 160-1(i), Page 1-8: https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/media/cms/R160_001_AA05CF4BF3FC5.pdf
"1-8. Qualifications of Health Service Personnel. Any health professional or technician may
qualify for a health service appointment in CAP, provided that proof of current unrestricted
licensure, registration, or certification, where such is required by law or regulation, is furnished.
Only physicians will have the title of "medical officer." Only nurse categories will have the title
"nurse officer."
All others will be known as "health service officers." The health disciplines of
members that may serve as a unit's Health Service program officer can be found on the
CAP Health Service website at: http://www.capmembers.com/cap_national_hq/health-service/
.
If a unit has more than one health professional assigned, the most senior in terms of level of
education and training should be the designated health service program officer and any others as
his/her assistants. CAP members who are retired health professionals, but still wish to serve as
health service officers, may do so, provided they retain current state licensure. Many states have
categories of licenses at a lower cost, which allow trained individuals to perform professional
duties as a volunteer (uncompensated)."


Now, unfortunately, owing to the state of the Health Service Program, the link above no longer exists,
however 35-5 confers advanced promotion to 2nd Lt to LPNs, so one could certainly conjecture that
an LPN can wear the nurse badge upon appointment as such at the unit level or higher.

CAPR 35-5, Page 15: https://www.gocivilairpatrol.com/media/cms/R035_005_489E25C089E93.pdf
"5.3.3.1. Second Lieutenant. Licensed practical or vocational nurse, paramedic or other health
technician."

Sorry, ignored the first question.

You don't.  You appoint the member as a Nurse Officer and store the requisite substantiation in their
(hopefully electronic) personnel file.

Eservices doesn't track medical credentials beyond first aid training or equivalent (in Ops Quals).
