I am going to graduate high school early and will be done by the time I'm 16. So I will still be 17 when I get done with nursing school. When can I take my NCLEX-PN? Do I have to be 18? I want to finish school as soon as possible and be a nurse before 18. Will any hospital higher a 17 year old if I've completed everything I need to be a LPN?

I can only speak for my school here in NY, but they won't accept someone unless they are 18 or older.

What's the rush? You are only young once and you will be a nurse for many a decade most likely.
