OMG! I just got the CPNE date for 2/19/09 in Mansfield, Oh. This only gives me 11 weeks to prepare and I work full-time!!! I do not want to give up that date or site. Anyone else with that date? I also want to take a Chancellors Workshop if I can get in b/4 CPNE. I never expected it to happen this soon (application accepted 10/12/09).

I need encouragement.

Thanks everyone!

Wow, that was quick! You can do this, have faith in yourself and your abilities. I just become CPNE eligible today, I am gathering the required documentation and I also hope to get the Mansfield, OH location. I live in Florida but my entire family is there!

Let me know how you like Mansfield.

Good luck! BREATHE!!! Practice, practice practice!

Thanks Lisa1980. I hope you get Mansfield too. Mansfield is only 3 hours away from where I live. I was hoping for this site. I'll let you know all about it when it is over.

congrats and good luck! that was really quick. did you request first avalible or was that your site of choice?

Cheltoe,

I put my ready date as 2/15/09. I signed up for the 6 Wisconsin sites and Mansfield. I also said I would take a cancellation date with a 3 week notice.

congratulations!!!!!!! best of luck,keep the faith and you will succeed!!!! i cant wait to put the same post up soon! :yeah:

Of course you can!

I got a date and only 5 wk notice for Jan 8th! I think I have to reschedule! I also work full time and just don't know if I can prepare in time! Any suggestions.

Oh my! have you done any preparation at all? I am actually taking some vacation time this month to give the CPNE study an intense start. I should know by the end of the month if I think I can be ready by 2/19 . . . I'm gonna sure try! but 5 weeks. Wow. I think I have read post b/4 of people that have done it that fast.

Where is your test site.

I attended a workshop in Oct but haven't had a good schedule of studying until now! Just the workshop and read through to study guide once! I know have a very strict study schedule. I cut my work down to just 2 12hr shifts so I have 4 days a week to lock myself in my office and study and practice! My husband works nights, and no kids, so I will have a quite house for 10hrs a day to focus! All I can do is give it my all bc they said otherwise I would have to wait until March or April! I have 4 more days to decide whether to reject the date! Any suggestions would be GREAT! Is this possible? I do work as a LPN (8yrs) in a hospital setting. What do you guys think?

Laies I wish you all the luck in the world!!!! I can tell all of you are a little nervous because all of you wrote -2009!!! (Freudian slip or Wishful Thinking? :chuckle) I know these tests are tough,but don't forget to relax and spend time with your families during this holiday season!!!!

Ladies, I just got a call last Friday and they gave me a date - Jan. 8. In Utica.

We can do it :)

Never forget where you're coming from

Never pretend that it's unreal

Someday soon this will all be someone else's dream (TT)
