Specializes in ICU.

Hey all, I lurk on these boards, but rarely post. Today I had to lol. I just got home from taking LifeSpan 2 and PASSED...that was the hardest test I've taken to date. I was feeling pretty good in the testing room, but managed to squeek by with a "C"

All I have left at this point is LifeSpan 3, and the FCCA...then i'll be ready to conquer the BEAST!!! Wish me luck, trying to keep up this speed and work in the real world is really stressful, as we alllll know. Anyone else round bout the point I am? we could start studyin for the CPNE together maybe. Especially if you live in the Carolina's. Hit me up.

Specializes in Surgery, Med/Surg/ICU, OB-Peds, Ophth.

Congrats on reaching the home stretch! It seems like there are a few EC students close to the same time frame you are in. We had a big group finishing together here at allnurses last year, and it was wonderful to have a support group of friends to share ideas/study habits/mnemonics/etc. Good luck!

I am right where you are at now. Taking LS3 on 3/16 then FCCA. Hoping to take the CPNE by late summer in NY somewhere. Pref. Albany since it's a closer drive for me, or Syracuse. Good luck to you!!! Keep us posted on your progress!

Cool! We will have to keep in contact and keep each other motivated with this CPNE beast LOL. I've not scheduled LS3 yet, as i'm not sure how much studying I need to put into this one. LS2 was a killer to me, but I passed...so here's to us. Lets do this.

Specializes in Cardiac.

Right there with you! I have LS3 and Chronicity (both retakes). LS3 is first for me on 3/5 and I'll take Chronicity a week later, so both exams will be done and over with by the middle of March. Hoping to knock out the FCCA by the middle of April and be ready for the CPNE in June, somewhere in NY, preferably Syracuse or Albany. I also plan on to take Sheri's workshop online. I have my supplies but have not started practicing. Just trying to get thru these last exams.

I hear ya. I've not scheduled LS3 yet, waiting to get a lil better feel for the material. I just knocked out my Info Literacy course from Penn Foster tonight. That class was a BREEZE...it took all of one hour tops to do the exams and get my grade. So i'm down to just LS3 and FCCA!!! I also have been thinking about a workshop. I'm thinking i'll do Sherri Taylors in person probably about April. Not sure where I will test yet. The sites are ALL far from me. Will have to wait and see.
