I've completed one yr. of an RN program, is it possible to take the LPN boards w/o graduating from an LPN program?

I would like to correct that statement.... In Florida, you have to complete 4th term of an RN program to be able to challenge the NCLEX-LPN. Which, if you attend JDCC in Alabama, there are 5 terms. In Florida, in order to challenge LPN, you have to have completed "Adult Nursing 2."

I just moved back to Wisconsin and am wondering about challenging the BON here for my LPN. I only have 2 terms left in RN school, but I have to transfer everything, apply to college, etc., thus why I would like to challenge LPN so I can work while I finish RN school. I have my CNA, but would like to step up. Do you have any info on how to challenge here ( I am in Sun Prairie, 10 mins from Madison)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.... it is hard as crap to get anyone on the phone that can answer questions at the BON.

Thank you
