Can a R.N. work as an L.P.N.?

I graduated with my ADN in September and was told by my medical director that in March he’d be able to promote me to the office’s R.N. – his feet were obviously dragged for budget reasons and here we are in June and I just found out that the office cannot ‘support’ an R.N. but I was offered to stay in the position of the L.P.N.

My L.P.N. license expires at the end of May because I honestly felt as though I’d be working under the title of an R.N. by now. Is this legal? I am worried because I am an R.N. working under an L.P.N. job title and I no longer hold the L.P.N. license…. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
