COST: The fee for the RN pre-admission exams is $75.00. This fee is divided into a two-step payment. Both payments are to be done during the registration process. The payments are as follows:

  1. $35.00 non-refundable/non-transferable administrative fee payable to Bucks County Community College.
  2. $40.00 non-refundable fee payable to the NLN

Again, both of these fees are to be paid during the TWO-STEP registration process (BELOW).

You may not test without paying both fees.

RN REGISTRATION STEPS:

Step 1

Pay Bucks’ Administrative Fee

You may not test without paying both fees

ON YOUR SCHEDULED EXAM DAY:

  • All tests are administered on the Newtown campus. Arrive by 8:30 am on your scheduled exam date in order to check-in with Testing Center staff.
  • If you arrive after 8:45 am to your test session, you will not be permitted to test. You will forfeit your test fee and must reschedule your exam.
  • If you do not show for your exam you will forfeit your test fee and must reschedule your exam.
  • Total testing and check-in time generally take about 3 hours. Please plan accordingly.
  • IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: Two forms of ID are required. One form of ID must be government-issued (driver's license, state ID, passport). The second form of ID can be a debit card, health insurance card, social security card, etc., as long as the name matches on both forms of identification.

Step 2

If you are taking the RN exam for the first time you must create a new account. Please read for complete information related to creating a new account and registering for the exam.

Pay NLN Testing Fee of $40

YOU MUST KNOW YOUR NLN USERNAME AND PASSWORD YOU CREATED IN ORDER TO TAKE YOUR RN EXAM!

  • Be sure to choose the correct date for your exam
