Are you done with your nursing exams?? I am also eager to prepare for the CPNE but I read multiple times here that I should wait until I finish all the nursing exams to worry about the CPNE. So that is what I am doing. I have 5 more nursing exams to do so it's still a long way.

I didn't know they have a site in Queens, NY. Please update us if you hear anything.

I was just looking at this yesterday, kind of trying to plan my year ahead...the CPNE FAQ says something like 2-3 months to get a date within a 4-6 month time frame. But, I have seen people getting dates fairly quickly, like within 2-3 months of application. Just depends on how you apply...if you are specific about sites, it takes longer, but if you take cancellations/first site available, it seems to be moving fairly quickly. I know they've opened up testing in some places to be M-W and F-S, so that has helped a bit. I don't care where I go, I just wanna make sure I have time/money for a workshop in there somewhere. Definitely don't wanna go into the "Beast" cold turkey!! Good luck! It'll be here before we know it!

My application was accepted July 9 and I waited for MPAC about 1.5 months with no word. Transfered to NPAC and got an immediate date for Sept 24-26. I declined and accepted Dec 5-7 in Utica NY. So about 5 months but by choice. Its definetly something you don't wanna rush. It is a lot of things you need to know and you need lots of practice.

Applied for CPNE 11/2007. Received date in 04/2008, tested 06/2008. MPAC, Mansfield. I wanted at least 6 months for prep, so I didn't request a cancellation, and I also requested one specific site (it was within driving distance, sorta -- 6 hours). You can get a date faster if you request a cancellation date.

But as agldragon wisely suggested ... focus on the present exams. The CPNE will come later.

Albertng,
I applied in Sept for the Southern Region but when i didnt here anything from them i called and they said the wait was long, so i decided since i live on the east coast ill just transfer over to the northern region. So i called the northern region last week and they gave me a date
