No. Seven states have programs that permit you to take the bar exam without having a law degree: California; Maine; New York; Vermont; Virginia; Washington; Wyoming. Most of these states still require SOME law school before you can sit for the bar. You could then practice in one of these states for five years, and then waive into Florida (from New York, at least; I do not think California has reciprocity with any other states), but you still would not be sitting for the bar exam. But even if you're migrating from a state where you practiced for 20 years, if you do not have the credentials to be admitted to the bar exam, your license from another state is generally not going to get you into the system.
