Okay maybe this is a dumb question but I'm going to ask anyone...

I'm an LVN and am starting the application for my RN. If later down the road I decide to go for my BSN will I have to take the NCLRX again? I know I have to take it for my RN but is the BSN just an add on do to speak? I don't think I can handle sitting through the NCLEX three times o_0. I don't think my heart can take it lol

I'm an LPN too :) I'm not 100% sure but no I don' believe you have to take it again when you get your BSN.

RN=RN. No need to take the NCLEX again since you will have already passed it. The BSN will be additional education (which I highly recommend) but does not require you to take RN boards again.

My BSN came more than 30 years after my RN and I am glad there were no additional tests.
