CPNE Application

Click on the CPNE Application Status icon on MyEC and it will allow you to upload it there. There is a glitch in the upload system when you try to upload everything when filling out the CPNE application. If that doesn't work,call EC and they will help you. Congratulations on applying to the CPNE!!! Where do you want to take it?

I actually signed up for ALL the sites at NPAC, I wonder if that this a good idea... but honestly I don't see how I could choose since I do not know the sites!

I first printed all paperwork and then scanned it to a gif file, it uploaded with no problem and it cannot be altered easily. I applied in late Sept. 08 and just got my date last week.

YAY:yeah: I too applied for all of the NPAC sites. I applied 11/21, called and got a cancellation date on 1/21.....I test next weekend in Syracuse!

Way to go GaNUrse! that was FAST!!!!

Once I feel like I know what I am doing regarding the CPNE I will try to do what you did and see if I can get a date to test sonner than the 6-9 months they announce! So far I said on my application that I would be ready y May, we will see...

I did the same thing, except I opted out of the Pennsy site. You'll get a date more quickly that way and will likely end up at Albany Med as they have the most testing.

HI, I as just wondering if you had a specific reason to opt out of Penny site??? Did you end up in Albany med as well?

It's what Lunah said. I'm in upstate NY, 2 hours north of Albany, 3 - 5 Utica and Syracue, something like 8 for the PA.

Yes, Albany. Twice.

I signed up for my CPNE last week and requested all of the NPAC sites, and requested to be on the waiting list with only 1 weeks notice. (I am just a little eager after having been on the 16 year plan for my RN). I have been studying like a fiend and devouring any pearls of wisdom I find on the internet. My only question is this.......As an adult med/surg/tele nurse, what is the Peds eval like? That is what is really panicing me!!

Yes, I have the same fears. I've only worked with children in a clinic setting taking vitals and giving vaccines and lets just say they weren't happy campers. This is one area that will be a challenge.

Good evening all. I wanted to share the email that I received from Excelsior today:

"NPAC staff would like to make you aware that they have received approval from some of their sites to have mid -week clinical times which will allow them to schedule CPNE exams on Wednesday- Friday in addition to Friday - Sunday periods. They will be booking these dates as they confirm faculty availabilty for them. Please contact Evelyn Davis (NPAC scheduler ) if you would like to be considered for these mid weeks dates.

NPAC would like to provide an update on their newest sites:

York Hospital: their newest site in York, Pa. They will be testing at York Hospital once a month, starting with the April 24-26, 2009 weekend.

New York Hospital Queens: this site opened in January 2009 and is running twice a month, increasing to three times a month in July 2009.

Saratoga Hospital: this site in Saratoga Springs, New York is scheduled to open in June 2009, faculty are currently being recruited and trained for this location.

Test dates will be available when faculty are scheduled"

So for all of us waiting for our dates at the NPAC, study, study, study!!!
