NLN Testing
NLN (The National League for Nursing) develops admissions tests for both the LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) and the RN (Registered Nurse) Programs. Both the LPN and RN pre-admission exams require a $55.00 non-refundable fee paid during the registration process. If you should not pass the test, you must wait 6 months before retaking the test.
PN Program
Preparing for the Exam
To prepare for the examination, the NLN has developed a Review Guide for LPN/LVN Pre-Entrance Exam, 3rd Edition. This guide is available in bookstores or directly through Jones & Bartlett Publishers (www.jbpub.com), 1-800-832-0034. The PN department strongly recommends this review book to help you prepare for the exam; however use of this guide is optional and is not mandated.
