Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) Exam
During the COVID-19 crisis, to ensure the safety and health of our community, we are postponing the April 4 and May 16 PSB-PN Pre-entrance Exam until further notice. Rest assured we are working on a plan so that prospective students interested in beginning the program this July 2020 will have every opportunity to do so. Please do not hesitate to email with any questions at pnursing@bucks.edu. Be well and stay healthy.
If you should not pass the exam, the waiting period to retake your exam is as follows:

LPN PREPARATION INFORMATION
1) Sample questions for exam preparation may be found at http://psbtests.com/test-resources/#Sample%20Questions

If you feel you need more assistance with preparation, there are a variety of GED study guides that can be used found at any library or bookstore. Select the one that best addresses your areas of weakness. These study guides will cover far more material than is on the LPN test but will have many sample questions, answers, and explanations.
