Wants to challenge LPN exam

[Nurse Beth, MSN]

If you're asking whether you can challenge the LPN exam in Florida without completing a nursing program or having an accredited education, then the answer is no. Like most states, Florida requires that you graduate from an accredited nursing program (U.S.-based or through credential evaluation for international students) before you are eligible to take the NCLEX-PN exam.

However, if you have completed an accredited nursing program or can have your international nursing education verified by a credentialing agency like CGFNS,  you can apply to take the NCLEX-PN and pursue licensure as an LPN in Florida.

In summary, you must have completed an accredited nursing program or have your foreign credentials evaluated and approved to challenge the exam. If you meet this requirement, you can proceed with the licensing process. If not, you would need to fulfill this education requirement first.

Best wishes,
