CPNE 30 March- 01 April...nervous now!

Published

Two weeks from today i will be in Atlanta awaiting to take my CPNE at Grady hospital...am I nervous YES, am I excited YES (weird i know)...it's been a long haul and I hope and pray that I have prepared enough to show EC what a great nurse I am! Two weeks left to polish and shine those skills an Area's of Care...Hope to report a GN status on 01 April!

Good luck to all testing and studying...i know i haven't been as active on these boards this year as i used to be, but I plan on sharing my experience once i'm through!

Tasha I am so happy for you. It seems that we were on this journey together. I have followed your posts and cheered you on. I failed my first time at the CPNE, so my best pieces of advice is know your labs, be able to do them in your sleep. If you are having trouble with that wound at home, then you will have trouble at the CPNE, know your mnemonics like the back of your hand. They will cue you if you forget a part of your assessment and always advocate for yourself. I saw decisions overturned because the ce were mistaken, wrong, or not informed. Just breathe you can do this.

Thanks Erika! I'm good with my mnemonics, the labs I feel pretty good about, but still polishing these next few days (i took vacation from work this week so that i could work on them continuosly the few days before testing) I don't tend to speak up for myself, but will keep your words of advice on hand! This is going to be a challange for me though! =) I hope and pray that this is MY time to SHINE! =)

I guess you will be on your way today or tomorrow! I will look forward to your post about passing, cause we all know you got this. Let me know how it goes as I plan to test at Grady also, around June. Once its over and you are a GN, let me know where you stayed and how you got around....I'm still researching hotels and transportation. You got this!

Tasha, we're all rooting for you and praying for you too! Got your flask all ready to go?! JK!! I don't know if you will even see this before you start tomorrow or not, but here is one of my favorite verses.

Don't be afraid,

because I am with you.

Don't be intimidated;

I am your God.

I will strengthen you.

I will help you.

I will support you with

my victorious right hand.(I love the thought of Him walking in with you holding you by the hand!)

Isaiah 41:10 (God's Word Translation)
