      professional nurse or a permit to practice as a licensed practical nurse
      may be issued by the department upon the filing of an application for  a
      license  as  a  registered professional nurse or as a licensed practical
      nurse and submission of such other information  as  the  department  may
      require  to  (i)  graduates  of  schools  of  nursing  registered by the
      department, (ii) graduates of schools of  nursing  approved  in  another
      state,  province,  or  country  or  (iii)  applicants  for  a license in
      practical nursing whose preparation is determined by the  department  to
      be the equivalent of that required in this state.
        2. Such limited permit shall expire one year from the date of issuance
      or  upon  notice to the applicant by the department that the application
      for license has been denied, or  ten  days  after  notification  to  the
      applicant   of   failure  on  the  professional  licensing  examination,
      whichever shall first occur.  Notwithstanding the  foregoing  provisions
      of  this  subdivision,  if  the  applicant  is  waiting  the result of a
