Licensing Statute?

Does anyone know if there is a statute or rule of a time limit concerning the amount of time lapse between graduation of nursing school and sitting for state boards?

I graduated several years ago, have retain most knowledge, taken some pre-requisites that qualify for RN, but want to sit for PN licensure. The pre-req's are very recent, such as: A & P 1-2 with labs, Microbiology + lab.

Granted I will have to study hard, but I did not find anything in the state board rules that state I cannot do this.

I graduated from a practical nursing program.

Please advise, I am ready to study.

Thank you for the link. I checked out the post right above mine by NRSKarenRN, she supplied some links. I went to the one about licensure and FAQ's, it stated there is no time limit between school and sitting for exam. I just can't be considered a GPN. Now I have plenty of work ahead of me.

Again, Thank you for your response. :specs:

I do not know how long you have, but this site could answer your question. At least partly. =)

There isn't a limit in the state of FL. I researched this with the FBON recently, whereas I completed an LPN program a decade ago. Per the FBON, there isn't a limit, but the rep did recommend a refresher course for my benefit. There's a list on the FBON website.

Thank you so much for your input. I looked and did not find any time limit either. Thank you, sheshell801
