Please help! NLN pharm test info.

Published

Hello, everyone. I have run a search on this topic but can't find this information.

I have to take the NLN Basic Proficiency in Medication Administration for RNs for my job. People have mentioned that you can purchase a $10 practice test online. Can someone please please tell me the link???? I can't find it on the NLN site. I really want to practice the dosage questions because they are the most time consuming.

Also, I have been hearing that the test is actually 50% calculations and not the 14 questions as NLN outlines.

Is this true?

PLEASE reply soon as I have to take it this week. THANKS!

Why wouldn't your employer be able to offer a link to a practice test?
