Frequently Asked Questions

What is the LRNN exam and who offers it?

The LRNN (Low Risk Neonatal Nurse and Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse) exam is a specialty certification assessment offered by the National Certification Corporation (NCC). It validates a nurse's knowledge and competency in caring for healthy newborns and low-risk neonatal patients in well-baby nurseries and postpartum units.

What are the primary eligibility requirements to take the exams?

To be eligible for either exam, you must meet the following general criteria:

  • Hold a current, active, and unencumbered RN license in the U.S. or Canada.
  • Have accumulated at least 24 months of specialty experience as a registered nurse, comprised of a minimum of 2,000 hours in the specialty, which must have occurred anytime in your career.
  • Be employed in the specialty sometime within the last 24 months.

What content domains or topics are covered in the exam?

Domains often include:

  • Neonatal physiology and pathophysiology
  • Assessment and monitoring
  • Respiratory care
  • Thermoregulation
  • Nutrition and fluids
  • Pharmacology in neonates
  • Family-centered care
  • Safety and infection control
  • Emergency procedures

How many questions are on the LRNN exam and what is the format?

The LRNN exam consists of 175 multiple-choice questions, with 150 scored questions and 25 pretest questions that are not scored. Candidates have 3 hours to complete the exam, which is administered via computer at designated testing centers.

How do I apply for the LRNN exam?

You must apply directly through the National Certification Corporation (NCC) website. The process involves creating an account, submitting an online application with details of your license and clinical experience, and paying the required examination fee.

How should I prepare for the exam?

Successful candidates often use a combination of:

  • Official NCC Resources: The most critical resource is the NCC's "Guide to the Certification Exam" and the test content outline for your specific exam.
  • Review Courses: Many organizations and institutions offer live or online review courses.
  • Textbooks: Core neonatal nursing textbooks, such as the Core Curriculum for Neonatal Intensive Care Nursing or AWHONN's Neonatal Nursing, are excellent references.
  • Practice Questions: Using Prephow LRNN question banks and practice tests is highly effective for applying knowledge and managing test-taking time.

How difficult is the LRNN exam, and what common pitfalls should I avoid?

Many test-takers find scenario-based and higher-order thinking questions challenging. Pitfalls include: underestimating time pressure, not reading questions carefully (especially “except/which of the following” style), and neglecting weaker content areas. Consistent, timed practice is key.
