How can a Canadian RPN take the LPN NCLEX?
Licensed Practical Nurse & Registered Nurse by Examination
Thank you! Is there a temporary work liscence as well? We are going for 3 months at a time then back to Toronto.

In addition to the above links:
FL BON Licensure Information for Applicants Educated outside the UnitedStates and in Non-NCSBN Jurisdictions
You will need to obtain a U.S Social Security number in order to be licensed in FL. The SSN is not required to complete the application process and take the NCLEX exam. They also have continuing education that is required for licensure --see their website. They do not have a temp permit listed on website.
Best wishes in your journey.
