Can you challenge the board after your first year of nursing school to take the Nclex-PN test in Missouri ?? If so what is the course equivalency for that and how do you go about it??

No. The LPN has set standards like you have to pass the State IV cert test which includes a successful stick on an actual person. The RN license/programs don’t have that state mandate because RN’s inherently can do IV sticks without a separate cert. I don’t think you can challenge the PN boards at all but even if you were able to, you’d have to take a separate IV cert course.
