Dear LNA candidate:

Thank you for your interest in our NH Board of Nursing approved examinations. We offer both the challenge exam and the state competency exams on a regular basis. Private exams are available at the discretion of our testers. Private testing must be paid in full to the examiner one week prior to the testing.

• Our challenge exam involves a written exam along with clinical skills that must be completed. The fee is $125.00 the examination. Students must pass the written exam with a 70% and the clinical portion with 100% accuracy. Successful completion entitles the candidate to sit for the state competency exam.
Our state competency exams are offered frequently, usually every month. Private exams are offered as needed. This exam involves a written component as well as clinical case scenarios that the candidate must successfully perform. We give same day verbal results. Written results from the testing center are mailed to you within three to five business days. The fee for this testing is $150.00 for group exams and $200.00 for private exams; this includes the examiners fees as well as state testing fees.

Candidates for private competency exams are required to bring an actor with them for the clinical portion, this person must be 18 years of age or older and physically able to participate in the exam.

Candidates for both programs must provide written verification from the NH Board of Nursing that they qualify to participate in the exam. Picture identification is also required, such as a driver's license.

We offer candidates that want to study prior to the testing the opportunity to purchase a student textbook for the cost of $60.00. (Clinical scenarios that you may be tested on include: ROM, pulse, handwashing, oral and denture care, bedpan care, transfer, dressing and undressing a pt with a weak side.)

Call today for the testing dates/sites that are available.
