Why do PN when you can be RN? All you need to do is follow requirements for foreign trained nurse of the BON in the state you live, they will decide if you meet requirements. Looking at their site for LPN you need credential eval from CGFNS but for RN you need CGFNS exam. If you are wanting to become RN at a later date things may change and you don't need exam
