Hi Taneiros, I took my exam in 1985 and am currently a non-practicing LPN in NJ (working on changing this though). Regarding not being allowed to graduate from Union County College (UCC) because you were missing an algebra class, you may want to consider contacting UCC to find out if they'll allow you to graduate once you take the algebra course. You should also contact the Nursing Department to find out if they'll allow you to graduate from the Nursing Program as you might need a separate approval from that department since it's been eight years since you were in the program. If the Nursing Program says no, but the school says yes, you can transfer what you took at UCC to FL and not have to retake everything. If you receive approval from the Nursing Program, then you should find out if NCLEX allows you to take the test for more than one state. If it does, then you may want to consider taking the test for both NJ and FL. If you prefer not to take the test for both states, you should find out if there's reciprocity between NJ and FL. In other words, if you pass your NCLEX in NJ, is it transferable to FL. If it's transferable then it's worth flying down here for the NCLEX rather than redoing the nursing program in FL. If it's not transferable it may just be a matter of taking one or two additional courses in FL. Again, it would be worth taking the trip so as not to redo the entire program in FL. The first step is though is to contact UCC to find out if they'll allow you to graduate from the nursing program if you take the one missing course, and if you'll be able to take the NCLEX once you take the one remaining course. If UCC gives you the green light on this, then you should contact the FL Board of Nursing to find out what you need to do to transfer. The thing is not to give up. You're currently working as a Medical Assistant, which has allowed you to remain in the field. You should still have your nursing books which you can use to start brushing up on terminology, pharmacology, etc while taking algebra online. There are also the resources found at the library and places that offer nursing refresher. You still have time to make the transition from Medical Assistant to RN, just don't let too much more time go by. So... 1-contact UCC Advisors and Nursing Program to confirm graduation approval once you take the algebra course; 2-find out if you can take NCLEX for both NJ and FL; 3-contact FL Board of Nursing to find out what needs to be done to do a transfer (if you can't take NCLEX for both states). I wish you the best of luck and hope you don't give up. fanala1

I am 36 years old and have always wanted to become a nurse. Now that my daughter is 18 I am ready to move forward. I am a 2 yr breast cancer survivor. My nurse's are encouraging me to attend the community college nursing program. My fear is math was not a good subject for me in high school. Since I have been out of school for eighteen years. I am worried that I won't do well on the placement test. Any suggestions?

I did my LPN program in 2000 in Union County College in New Jersey, The only reason I did not get my degree was because I was missing an Algebra class, so the college refuse to allow me to graduated without that class, then I moved to Florida I have tried to finish here but I was told I had to start all over my nursing, is that true? Can I finish on line. I have been working as a Medical Assistant for many years.So I have remained inj the field all this time. Please help.
