Anyone from Mississippi

Published

I have been a lurker on here for a while. I am trying to decide if I am gonna go with EC. I know that I can do the exams but it's the CPNE that I'm not so sure about. I have been an LPN for 10 years and will be attending my local CC this fall to take some of the pre-reqs that I have left. I don't plan on enrolling to EC until after I take Health Safety. I keep telling myself "I can do it" but I get so nervous when it comes to thinking about the clinical part. I know this will be my shortest route to obtaining my RN. Can someone calm my fears so that I can make the right decision.

Is there anyone from Mississippi that is going through EC. I am in the southern part of Mississippi.

I'm not from Mississippi, but I think the fear you have in you is typical of most of us, and it is what motivates us to study for the CPNE. Obviously it can be done successfully--you certainly have the experience to help you along--but you will have to continue to tell yourself you can do it. I am trying to do that, but it's hard...I second guess my old and relatively short nursing experience, so you're kicking my butt. :D

If you can control your nerves AND you can know your critical elements (it's not high-tech nursing, just basic stuff), you will have it down. That and remember to check the armband and wash your hands like you have a short-term memory problem. :jester:
