From some of the old threads I'm reading, it seems that depending on the state you can challenge the LPN exam.

There is also a Military nursing section under the Specialty tab.
title 19, legislative rules, west virginia board of examiners for registered professional nurses, series 3 requirements for registration and licensure and conduct constituting professional misconduct states the following on page 2:
it can be done in west virginia in some circumstances. you would need to contact the west virginia board of examiners for registered professional nurses to have your military training/education evaluated to determine compliance.
also, i can't find it now but i recall seeing a comment on their website that since this was licensure without attending an approved educational program that a license obtained using this method could not be endorsed to another state.
good luck in your future endeavors, and thank you for your service to our country.
