I suggest printing it at staples, kinkos, etc. I found a coupon online for like 5cents a page if they did it in black and white. If you can find time to sit in front of the computer and read it over a few good times then don't bother printing it. Just print what you feel you need. If you read it once you will get a feel for what you will need in print vs just in the digital format. I am currently trying to format it for my tablet so I can have it all electronically with me at all times. would make studying sooo much easier.
WHAT THE HECK? EC says they are mailing me the CPNE study guide on CD and/or I can download it and print it out directly. BUT IT'S 529 PAGES!!!That's more than an entire REAM of paper! Not including the cost of ink!
Anybody have any advice??? Anybody have any extra paper? INK???
I am only 3 exams in but I have started to print it out the guide gradually at my local library that generously allow free printing. I figure each visit I would print 100 pages in increments of 25 pages per print order so as not to attract too much attention. Come on that's a LOT of printing....wouldn't want other members to feel like I am monopolizing the service! So I figure in 6 visits I'll have the entire thing printed for free. I don't plan to be CPNE eligible until June - July. So I should have plenty of time to start looking it over. If you do get the coupon online for staples, plan on spending approximately $27.00. I really feel like excelsior should actual prepare a binder of the study guide and send to students! Anyone in agreement?
Thanks everybody!
I found a Staples coupon online, took it & the flash drive to Staples, had it B&W printed with 3 hole punch for about $39.00.
If I had tried to print it at home my old lil printer woulda just coughed and died:eek:
Thanks again!
P.S. Those of you who are able to print for FREE at your local library are truly BLESSED! Go give your librarian a big HUG:bowingpur
HEE HEE HEE...I'm one of the rotten ones that printed it off at work (Thank Goodness i work third shift huh?) However, I DID bring my own reams of paper! I hole punched it myself and stuck it in a 6in binder! =) I figured they sort of owed it to me at work considering that I TRAIN and ORIENTATE all the new RNs that come over to Rehab side...yet i'm still just an LPN LMBO!
