Question re: NLN exam at LaSalle

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

When I went to register for the NLN exam at LaSalle, there are six openings for a date next week. The scheduled dates in November and December both have zero openings.

Is this because they already are filled, or because they only allow registration for one test date at a time?

I would rather wait and take it later, lol!

It sounds like they haven't opened registration for November/December yet. When I registered last year, I randomly happened upon an open test date with a couple of seats open. Debating registering, then went back a couple of minutes later and there was only one spot open. If there are openings now, you might want to jump on it or take the chance that you'll catch the next opening. I had a week to study :eek: but did really well. Good luck!

There were opening for December about a week ago, I know. I'm registered for the December 11th date. As of last week there were about 5 seats available for that date, so I'm assuming that November/December is closed now.

Yes, you're right ashley nicole. I called and the lady told me that Nov/Dec. is filled. That gives me....hmm. three days to study for the October date on Wednesday. Wish me luck!

Does anyone know about the score you need on the PAX NLN to even be considered for admission? I'm nervous about that. I took a practice test to see what area I should focus my studies on and got a 68% (I need to focus on math more than anything).

There is a combination of factors that will gain your entrance into the program. I will share my situation. My GPA was overall 2.62 . I used the NLN to gain entrance. I scored 92% in the entrance exam. My science GPA was 3.0.

If you have strong grades, I still suggest scoring above 70...get 80 plus on you entrance exam. I also used the NLN book to study from. Pace yourself for the test. Before you go for the exam, try to time yourself on each subject during a practice test. Once you are done with a section, YOU CANNOT GO BACK. When I took the test, I saw one of the test takers that went back to a section, the proctor ever so politely turned the test into the appropriate section!!! Either way, good luck!! I enjoyed the program at LaSalle...VERY supportive of the students...great teachers!!! Make you nursing experience count!!!
