    LPN to RN challenge boards

    OK I have a really weird question. I went through my entire RN schooling. Final exams for my very last class came and went and I didnt pass. This was my second attempt with the RN program. My first was in nursing 1 when I found out I was pregnant. soooooooooo after my huge deep depression..lol I challenged the LPN boards and have been a nurse for almost 2 years. My question is,if I already have an AA degree and all of my clinical hours required by the state for school,can I challenge the RN boards?:33:thanks for any advice!!

    You cannot take NCLEX unless you have actually graduated from an accredited school of nursing with either an Associate's or Bachelor's degree in nursing, or a nursing diploma program, so, if you want to be an RN, you would need to re-take and pass that last exam so you can graduate from school.
