Amount of study HOURS for CPNE?

Thanks everyone for your responses.

I agree that you can't study too much for the CPNE. The planning phase and timing is what I am trying to wrap my mind around. For now I put 2/15/10 for my "ready to test date" but am concerned that I may not be giving myself enough time. I just have A&P left if I pass Ethics this week, but, could probably only study a max of 20 hours a week For CPNE after that. Plus I am need to fit in the EC Care Plan online conference and go to a Chancellor 5 day workshop.

I have considered pushing the ready date a few months further out if I need too but hate too if I could be ready in 3 months. I just don't know if I'll be ready 'cause I haven't even gotten started -- and when I look at the material it seems overwhelming! Phew! I just wondered how most of you have planned and dealt with all this.

Thanks again.

I think I will keep the 2/15/09 ready date and wait -- doesn't mean I'll get a date by then anyway. I WILL passed Ethics!! and spent December working on CPNE before I decide if I might need more time.

Thanks Everyone!
