Is excelsior a good route for me


I failed two clinicals in nursing school during my 3rd semester and don't know what to do. I want to go through excelsior but terrified that I will fail the CPNE even if I study 6 months in advance! I have extreme performance anxiety when I'm being evaluated. I remember being evaluated during head to toe assessments and I will ALWAYS mess something up. Every evaluation I perform, I always have to repeat it, even when I repeat it, I still miss something minor but the teacher just lets it slide. I know with the CPNE they will not let anything slide or did I read these post wrong. Do you automatically fail or what??

No one can answer the question of whether or not EC will be a good program for you. Everyone is different. Regarding the CPNE, you can repeat the lab stations once each (there are four), and you can repeat an adult and pediatric patient care situation (PCS) once each. But no, the clinical examiners don't let much slide.
