CPNE, who has the least wait time?

Which state/ site for CPNE has the least amount of wait time?

I have a friend that completed their last nursing exam on 7/23. I think she took a few weeks to get her CPNE app in, and is currently doing her FCCA---but she just got her CPNE date last week and is testing on 12/11. So it took about or less than a month to get her date and only 3 months until test date. She said the key is to not be pickey about your site---youll get in VERY quickly. Shes testing in Albany though. Not sure if there are specific sites that are faster to get into, or if you can just be flexible with them---theyll get you in quickly.

NPAC or MPAC are always the fastest ... the SPAC has fewer sites, some that only have CPNEs once a month. MPAC seems slightly faster than NPAC at the moment, but last year NPAC was the fastest. It changes often. As Felicia wisely said, flexibility is key! :) Good luck!
