Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NACE Foundations of Nursing Exam?

The NACE Foundations of Nursing Exam is one of a series of tests created by the National League for Nursing (NLN). It is a standardized exam used by nursing programs, particularly those with LPN-to-RN bridge options, to assess a Licensed Practical Nurse's (LPN) or Licensed Vocational Nurse's (LVN) foundational knowledge and experience.

What is the primary purpose of the exam?

The exam's primary purpose is to help nursing programs grant advanced placement or credit to LPNs/LVNs. Passing the exam can allow an LPN/LVN to skip certain foundational courses and accelerate their entry into a Registered Nurse (RN) program.

Who is eligible to take the NACE Foundations of Nursing Exam?

The exam is specifically intended for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) who are seeking admission or advanced standing in a professional Registered Nursing (RN) program.

What are the four main content areas covered by the exam?

The exam is broken down into four major areas, contextualized within the nursing process:

  • Basic Health Needs (Physiologic and Psychosocial)
  • Communication (Verbal, Non-verbal, Documentation)
  • General Principles of Medication Administration
  • Moral, Ethical, and Legal Issues

What specific Physiological Needs topics are covered?

This section covers foundational topics such as hygiene, comfort, safety, nutrition, elimination, respiration and circulation, fluid and electrolyte balance, and rest and sleep.

What is considered a passing score for the NACE Foundations of Nursing Exam?

There is no single universal passing score. The minimum required score (often between 65% and 75%) is set by the individual nursing program or college to which you are applying. You must check with your program for their specific requirement.

Who is the official administrator of the NACE exam, and how do I register?

The exams are administered by the National League for Nursing (NLN). Registration involves creating an account on the NLN website and purchasing the specific exam.

Are there official study materials available for the exam?

Yes. The NLN offers official NACE study guides and practice test materials for purchase. Prephow also offer comprehensive study guides and practice question banks.
