i would love to help you but i do not know what a equivalence test is. the only test i know to become a lvn/pn is the nclex.

Did the people at the Georgia Board of Nursing tell you this? I haven't heard anything like that.

My information has it that the State Of GA does NOT allow for LPN by equivalency. I took the MA course, which is very similar to an LPN course, at Bryman in Atlanta in the early 90's. Lots of LPN's tell me they got their licenses by equivalency, so I can't be sure who's right or wrong here.

Hopefully, GA has lightened-up on this. I'd be happy to take any test just to see if I can pass it, let alone GET my LPN, which would be fantastic:yeah:.

OK...here's what I found at the GA Secretary Of State's website:

It's a little vague, but may be of help to some.
