Taking the NLN:

Please select your test date carefully. Once registered for an RN-NLN or LPN-NLN test date, your test date appointment cannot be changed for any reason. If you choose to reschedule your test date you must restart the test registration process and pay the full fee of $55.00 again. NLN Testing fees are non-refundable. If you do not test on your scheduled date, for any reason, your test fee will not be refunded.

The phone number for the Testing Center is 215-968-8466.

The Testing Center is on the Newtown Campus, Rollins Center, room RC100, adjacent to the Cafeteria.

Two current forms of identification must be shown at your scheduled test session. One must be a current government-issued photo identification (ex. driver's license, passport). No one will be permitted to test without proper identification.

NOTE:

Once you have taken an NLN-LPN or NLN-RN test, you must wait at least six months before retaking that test, or NLN will not score your test.
