NCLEX-PN while in RN school

[kbaile04]

I am currently enrolled at Carl Albert State college in Oklahoma. I was wondering if I would be able to sit for the NCLEX-PN after 1 year (2 semesters) in the RN program?

It appears that Oklahoma does allow you to test NCLEX-PN after completion of 1 year of RN program if certain coursework was included:

ELIGIBILITY obn

To qualify for writing the NCLEX-PN via the equivalency provision, you must have successfully completed a minimum of one academic year of a Registered Nurse (RN) nursing education program approved by the Oklahoma Board of Nursing or a similar board in another state, with a minimum 2.0 GPA and a grade of C” or higher in all nursing courses. Equivalent coursework must have been completed within two years of submission of the completed application for licensure, transcript and fee to the Board and submission of the completed registration form to the testing service. The application for licensure and test registration should not be submitted until after the equivalency evaluation has been completed.

You must provide evidence to verify classroom instruction and clinical practice in nursing care of adults, nursing care of children, and maternal-infant nursing. In addition, course content in anatomy and physiology, growth and development, mental health, pharmacology, and nutrition must have been successfully completed.
