Feeling stupid... What is the NLN???

Published

Hey all... I'm in Minnesota. I'm working on my pre-reqs and I hope to apply for the ADN program next fall. I keep hearing of everyone talking about the NLN. I'm assuming it is some sort of entrance exam?

But as far as I know... I haven't heard that I will have to take it.... And if I do... What is it? I have all the info I need from my school that says what is required for admission and I'm worried that maybe I've missed something....

Thanks so much for your help!

The school in FL that I am applying to right now does not require any entrance exams, and the school I started in LA before Katrina and had to withdraw from after the storm did not either.
