CPNE this weekend

Nursing Students Excelsior

Published

It seems like yesterday when I failed my last semester of traditional school back in 2007. I was groping around trying to figure out should I give up on my dream. Then a wise "pixie" gave me some excellent advice to give Excelsior College a try. I have been at it ever since on and off. I should be nervous based on the horror stories I have read regarding the CPNE but I am not. I am just thankful to God for this opportunity. So many people have encouraged me throughout the years. I have decided to follow some of the best advice I have received. Be humble, have fun, and control your nerves. Lets not forget to practice practice practice. Pray for me ya'll this is it. I will post yay or nay by Monday :)

I am sorry to hear that things didn't go as planned. I am proud of you also. You are not sending out any negative energy. You are not giving up. You are a fighter, and you will pass the CPNE. For some reason this wasn't your time, but next time is. You will do great. Thanks for sharing your experience. I was feeling a little defeated with all the school work I have to do today, and you just helped motivate me to keep on going. Thank you, and good luck to you.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I have no doubt you will pass the 2nd time around. Just like Lunah said, you basically took excelsior's workshop at an increased price. You will be ready next time. You will know what its like and what not to do, and you will pass on your second attempt.
