NACE

The NLN Nursing Acceleration Challenge Exams (NACE) are national standardized tests designed to evaluate previous learning in order to assist with placement of nurses who are seeking educational mobility. They are designed for two pathways: NACE I for LPN/ LVN to RN and NACE II for RN to BSN. NACE I and II are administered to students by an official representative of the school of nursing at which they are seeking advanced placement. Bulletins for both exams, which contain detailed information about the content, scoring, and administration, are available from NLN customer service. NACE products are ordered by faculty, not students.
