LPN challenging NCLEX RN

[curlygirl898]

Hi all,

I am an LPN of 5 years that has been working in Georgia in acute care since graduation. 

I just found out there's a challenge exam to challenge boards to sit for NCLEX RN as an LPN. Does anyone know about this? Has anyone ever done this?

I'm currently in school again for my RN and will continue to be unless I get approved to sit for NCLEX RN then I will reconsider. I just don't know what to think of this.

Not sure whether GA will allow you to do this or not. But I can tell you that my mom did it in the 1980s. There was a practical test and a written test. She went on to practice successfully as an RN for another 20-something years. I say do it if you can.
