Texas endorsement

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Background: I was attending an accelerated RN-asn program, I got all the way to the end & failed my last class twice and was removed from the program (appealing the decision-4+months now) I can and currently in the process of getting approved to taking the PNEQ Nclex-PN until then and just incase I can't go back to retake the ONE RN class... my plan was to move to Texas after I get atleast 6months of experience.

Question: would I be able to transfer a LPN license from Florida to Texas board of nursing after PNEQ considering I didn't graduate from an accredited LPN/LVN school?

Thank you in advance
