Thanks everyone, but if you can go, then do it. It felt so good sitting with the other nurses trading CPNE stories. The Excelsior staff was so wonderful, I really did not likeExcelsior after the CPNE. We earned it, it was really nice.

I was really burnt out, I had to take it twice. Then I got laid off from my joB and I used all the money I had left to pay for my CPNE the second time. My annual fee was due and they disenrolled me for non payment, 3 days before my CPNE. They considered it a cancellation and were going to forfeit my CPNE payment. Luckily my good friend paid my fee the day before I was supposed to go to Albany. I passed but it wasn't a good expeience, before I left.
