Re: re: challange the board for lvn

I am guessing you are in California because as far as I know that is the only state you can take the boards without going to LVN school. I do not know of any state that will let you "challenge it" you will have to take it. It sounds like you have a lot of experience. Go to the BLVN for an application, it will explain what you have to have to take the boards without having gone through a program. You will have to have good documentation of your # of hours of experience.
Here is a link for you. Good luck!
