I found this while searching randomly for info on Pinterest (of all places)...

Momma Maven: Resources For My Fellow Nursing CPNE Friends

Seemed to have pretty good info.

Congratulations! I applied in May for CPNE. Once you are given access to the CPNE portal download the study guide. Start getting your required documents together to submit your application. There is some Facebook groups CPNE Rate your workshop and Let's Conquer the CPNE Beast Together. The discussion board on Excelsior's website is pretty good also.

Good Luck!

Hi!! Did you get a date for your CPNE yet? I applied at the beginning of July and no date as of yet. Everytime I call them they keep telling me it might take up to 4 months to get a date and 7-10months to take the actual CPNE. So disappointed. That would mean march-june of next year. This would set me back. Of course, I have to be focused on passing but it would be nice to know an actual CPNE testing date.

I have not. I know how you feel. I am hoping for Nov-Feb. It's hard to keep focus sometimes when you don't have that date.

I applied in Apr and still don't have a date. I contacted the school and they say probably January-February. Its frustrating not having a date, but it's out of our hands for sure. Didn't know about the Facebook pages for CPNE. I'll have to check those out. The CPNE portal has been really helpful. Best of luck to every one!

I applied in Feb 2015 and I am testing October 30th. It was an 8month, 1 week wait from the date my application was received. I believe I was informed of my date early august..so almost 6 months later.
