I am officially CPNE eligible and am SO EXCITED!! Due to proximity, I think i am going to chose any of the OH or Wi locations w/i the MPAC. Does anyone have any advice on these locations, how long did it take for you to get your date. Is there any of these sites that i should avoid or ones that I should really push for?? Also, thanks for all of the support this site and its members have given me. It has been really nice to know that there is a place I can turn to for quick feedback, advice, and support.

I took my CPNE in Ohio (Mansfield) on 2008. Great site! Of course, I love it because I passed my CPNE there, but the CA and CEs were really great. I'm still hearing good reviews on Mansfield these days, but I also know from personal experience to take the negative site reviews with a grain of salt. Nine times out of 10, it has more to do with a student's preparation than anything else.
In 2007-2008, it took me 5 months just to get a date! But that was also because I opted for only one site (it was withing driving distance for me, about 6 hours away). I think people are getting dates much faster now.
Good luck!! How exciting. :)

I have read lots of your comments about testing for the cpne but i cant seem anyone who has taken it or recently posted about Mansfield, do you have anything you can share about your personal experience there? I have found and started using your study links also!

Hey loves, good for you! How long was it after getting confirmation of your passing fcca that you were able to apply for cpne? I'm gathering up my documents and stuff so I'm ready when they tell me. I've just started looking at the study guide. It's very informative yet terrifyingly massive. It's all so confusing to me, aoc, pcs, critical elements, Agh! Sorry.

I'm attaching my journal -- I've posted it here before, but that was 4 years ago, not sure where that post is, so here you go. :) Just be aware that I tested under the 14th edition of the study guide, so some things have changed.
