can you take the NCLEX-PN midway a BSN program ? In NYS

I wanted to know if Nursing students enrolled in a 4 year BSN program were allowed to take the NCLEX-PN and start working as a LPN a some point in their RN program.Do some specific courses  need to be completed first in order to be eligible. I have seen nursing intern jobs if you have completed fundamentals and others if you have completed med-surg.

Some states allow this. Find out if your state does. Some schools have it built into their curriculum. I believe you would have had to go through med/surg, pharm, obstetrics and peds before sitting for the PN boards. You are definitely allowed to sit for the LNA exam which is what a lot of nursing extern positions require.
