    New member here

    I completed LPN school way back in 1994, failed my boards and never retook them...According to the state of Ohio all I have to do is retake the boards to obtain my LPN now as they have my transcripts from school....Im sure I would want (or be required) to take a couple refresher courses prior to working as an LPN but Im really concerned if I can even pass the boards now since I couldnt pass them back then...they were not on computer back in the day...any advice for me?

    I would check into that more. I know that the state of TN requires you to take your boards within 2 years of completion of your program (RN, LPN, Paramedic, EMT, CNA, PA, RRT, CRT, etc), or else you have to repeat the course.
    Flight/Trauma Nurse
    RN, B.S.N., CCRN, ccNREMT-P, FP-C,
    B.S. NeuroScience, M.S.N.(ACNP/FNP) Student
    ACLS, PALS, NRP, PHTLS, and all the other $2 titles

    The entire course? wow!! The state of Ohio isnt saying anything like that. I have asked several people and there seems to be no restrictions.
