I'll answer that for you Sue--

I'm so excited to fly home tomorrow!

I'm sitting here in the Mansfield Ohio hotel lobby to let you know I PASSED my CPNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm out as early as I could possibly be! No repeats on the patient care scenarios! I haven't had much practice with IV's on the job and was worried about that -- and guess what, all my patients had IVPB to give or saline locks that needed to be flushed, LOL. Luckily I had practiced with my dummy and mock lab and calculations and read and drove myself nuts learning this stuff and that knowledge just walked me right through the PCS's.

I had to repeat the IVP lab but that was because I went over on time, it took me 17 minutes to do. I was just ready to attach the med and she said "Sorry your time is up." I went and finished it anyway and completed all the other critical elements but still had to redo it the next day. Passed it right at the 15 min mark next day. WHEW!

So I apologize for the over use of the exclamation marks and the crazy rambling but I need to say: Thanks for all your prayers and support and encouragment! I felt you all with me all three days of testing this weekend-- I even printed the emails and notes out and hung them on my hotel room wall-- I read it every morning.

Now I'm going to go buy a regular book and read it instead of nursing textbooks! Woo-hoo!

I'll post more details after I've recovered! Our group in Mansfield was AMAZING! A bunch of intelligent EC students-- of course. 6 of the starting 7 were left on Sunday and 3 I know of so far that passed today and I'm confident about the other 3! The one that wasn't there come Sunday was great too-- it must have been something like those darn NERVES that happened. I will say though-- The CE's and the CA really do want you to know your stuff and come prepared so you can be successful. They are rooting for you too!

Warm cozy regards-

Sara
