Jun 11, 2011 Some LPNs have been exempt from the second exam, "Essentials of Nursing Care: Health Differences," but they have recently changed the rule for that; it depends on how long you've been an LPN. You need to check with EC to find out for sure. Have you had your transcripts evaluated for credit? You should, if you haven't.
