NLN Nursing Acceleration Challenge Exam

I took it today in Los Angeles. I was no where near as crazy as NCLEX. Just review your acid/base balance, Diabetes, Nutrition, Post-Op, Labor and Delivery, vaccination schedule, there are a ton of prioritizng questions, I only got 3 calculation questions (D/H) and one IV rate calculation,PT/PTT, Heparin, Coumadin, open ended communication, body mechanics, sterile technique, wound care, confidentiality, informed consent Pretty much everything you learned in LVN/LPN school but not soooo detailed. Everything involved a safety aspect. The thing I like most about the exam was that they have actually highlighted key terms that we usuallly "didn't see" example, Which nursing action shoud be AVOIDED? That was always a killer for me. Good luck to you. When are you taking it and how long have you been a nurse?

I found NCLEX to be more tricky.

Hello all,

I am currently an LPN in WV. Does anyone have any insight as to who to speak with or where to go so that I can take the challenge exam??? I thank you for any direction. It is almost like it is a secret? I have only found dead ends?
