If you do LPN - RN and then take the RN boards, and then go back to school for RN-BSN, will you take the RN boards again after that?

Thanks

As far as I am aware you only take NCLEX RN once

No, that's why as an LPN the best thing to do first is to get that RN behind your name as soon as possible. The difference in salary for a RN ASN and RN BSN is not much difference.

no because you allready took your RN boards. the BSN is a degree. ASN, ADN, BSN's all take the same state board exam. good luck in school

No. You only take the RN boards once. Then each degree, BSN, MSN, etc. is an addition to your education, no further licensing exam needed. Certification exams are a different story, but they are not the NCLEX.
