Do students who do a degree for an RN, BN, or BScN normally pass the LPN test if they don't first train as an LPN?

In order to write the PN test you have to complete a PN course.

Thanks,
Now to try to get the more specific answer I'm looking for, if one were to train as an RN, would they take the LPN test?

No. If you were to train as an RN you would take the RN test. if you trained as an LPN you would take the LPN test.

The question should be why are you asking this?

If it has to do with Capital Health hiring BScNs to work as LPNs, it's due to the education being found not equal to that of a Canadian BScN but similar to that in the PN progamme.
