lpn testing

You better hurry and take the test!....my understanding is NY state board of nursing is changing their stance on RN students taking the test before completely school effective Jan07....it will no longer be allowed...check with your instructor to be sure but I am almost certain this is definite..good-luck

There is a thread on here that talks about the new law and has several pages of discusson on the subject that you may find helpful. Do a search I cant remember what it is titled though..good luck to you.

I am a second semester nursing student (RN) and i am interested in taking the exam to become an lpn in the meantime before graduation. does anyone know of testing center information in the new york city area? HELP!

Are you serious??? That is horrible. Many look forward to becoming LPNs until they complete their RN courses for experience and money. Also, there are the students that drop out of the program and at least have the option to take the LPN. Where did you find this information? I HAVE to pass this on to my RN student friends!!

I just thought of this...in most cases, they will not let RN students take the LPN exam until they complete women's health and pediatrics. That MAY be a problem if this is true if you are a second semester RN student just completing med-surg.
