BSN. CNA? LVN? or RN. HELP

Hi Everyone!

I am a newbie here so I hope someone would welcome me with their warm knowledge about my dillema.


I studied and finished BSN abroad. and NO I AM NOT A BOARD PASSER. I am located in LA, California now. I want to challenge the NCLEX-PN exam while working on my paperworks for NCLEX-RN. I know it'll take time to pass the NCLEX-RN because waiting on the eligibility letter takes me forever. I want to be a licensed holder of anything(that is related to my course) so finding job will not be that pain in the buttt. Can anyone point me and tell me where should I start so I could take or challenge the NCLEX-PN exam? Challenging CNA exam was my first choice but someone in this forum advise me to take NCLEX-PN (LVN/LPN) instead. So I'm taking his advise. He didnt reply again so I thought posting another question would be helpful than waiting on his reply.

Please tell me where to start. I am planning to call the BRN regarding this but I want to do my own research first.
What are the papers I'm going to need to challenge the NCLEX-PN exam?
Is being an LPN/LVN is better that being a CNA?
I'm a BSN so do I need to take classes or training still?

Thank you for reading my post. Have a good one.
just curious, were you able to take your LVN now or perhaps the RN exam?

Yes lvn is better than cna you need to pass your boards and be a RN not a cna or lvn !
