CPNE...feeling jumbled up!

So, what's the problem?

Totally normal.

I know exactly how you feel. I used Robs DVD and just passed in Mansfield this past weekend. Best $40.00 you will ever spend!!

What else besides ROb's CPNE did you use?

I reviewed the EC book (actually a CD now). I did look at the EC DVD once or twice. But I focused on Rob's DVD and his mnemonics, care plans and rationale along with his sample charting. I understand he now has a DVD for sim labs. I passed with no PCS repeats thanks to Rob's DVD and paperwork. There was one other person during my weekend that also used Rob's stuff and she too passed with no repeats. If you have any other questions, let me know. Good Luck with the CPNE!!!!

You know what? I had that thing, along with the workbook, but when I heard that it was FULL of mistakes, I didn't watch one second of it! Yeah, it's supposed to give you an idea of the flow. Hey, newsflash -- so does the study guide! I feel that EC would greatly benefit from making a DVD that shows the PROPER way to do the areas of care. For the price of that DVD, it should NOT be full of mistakes. Just my pet peeve.

Yay, Mansfield survivors unite!

I kind of laughed at the EC DVD because it's suppose to be from the EXPERTS. There are a few errors in Rob's DVD but with the info that he emails you, he corrects them. The errors I think were related to the camera angle, ie taking a BP in the same arm as the IV and not supporting the one arm with PROM. Overall though I pretty much followed his direction and passed. Don't ever want to do that again

You hit the nail on the head with that quote!!!!!!!!

The DVD may be helpful for those who are visual learners, though. It actually did help me, but I bought a used one on Ebay for a much cheaper price.

Why do you schedule time with a CE the week of your CPNE? I have no idea what to ask. Help.
