I know it's different for everyone, but I received a CPNE date just 2 days after everything was approved! So thought I'd give ya some hope :) Good luck!

Thanks Nicolina; it's becoming more real for me now. I've been on this journey since 2007 and have endured many ups and downs; I'm just glad to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and am determined to pass this test on the first try.

I know exactly how you feel....I've been going at it since 2006, (2002, if you want to get technical when I graduated high school) and you WILL pass on the first try! Just stay positive and confident, know your critical elements/mneumonics like the back of your hand, practice care plans and your labs every day and you will pass :) It will feel like a HUGE weight off your shoulders when you're done. It's been almost 2 weeks since I passed, and I still can't believe it sometimes....because you hear so many horror stories about this, and it gets you all worked up, and you study your butt off for 3 months, (some people more) and when you finally get through, it's like, WOW.....I did it....I actually did it. It means so much to people like you and I that have been working on getting our RN for years! :heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat
