Pre-reqs for the NLN

Hi everyone,

I've been reading this forum for some time now and I am certain that becoming an RN is something that I want to do. I will be going to a info session at DTCC-Stanton the week after next and I am certain the answers will be there. That being said:

Do you need to complete your pre-requisite courses in order to be able to pass the NLN exam? What essentially is the content of the exam? I have read English, Math, and Science. What level of these are we talking... High School or college level?

I have a B.S from Penn State University completed in 2004, I definately want to be prepared for this exam though (and will be getting a study guide very soon!) I'm just trying to figure out how much dusting off of the old brain cells I need to do....

Thank you in advance!

BUMP!

Is the NLN a test only used at my local school? Is my problem here with getting a response, that no-one has ever heard of an NLN exam?

If so, sorry!

I took the NLN test in February, and just graduated HS in May. I scored a 96 on it, and it seemed to be mostly HS level/Early College material. You can purchase the review guide from the NLN website. If you need any additional help, just pm me and I'd be glad to answer any questions, etc. Good luck!
