CPNE practice session question

Excelsior also offers a skills workshop. It definitely helped me and while it's expensive, I don't think it ran anywhere close to $900. There's also a workshop taught in California (I think the company is called CHE). I don't know the details, but I've heard good things about the pass rates coming out of that workshop. Maybe someone on here can direct you better.

There are two CPNE workshops that I know of. They claim to be set up just like the CPNE and really do seem to be quite helpful. Here they are:

Oh yeah, they are quite a bit cheaper too.

I went to Tina's (CHE) workshop. The labs were set up identically to the actual CPNE. (When I say identically, I mean identically. The wound simulator for the wound packing station was the exact same one I used on the CPNE.) PCSs are hard to simulate, but her mnenomics and grids were a big help. I passed the CPNE the first time (Plano, 7/05). I chose her workshop mostly because it was local to me, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I'm reasonably certain you can also take Chancellor's workshop without signing one of their contracts. Call them and ask.

I took the Chancellor's workshop with no contract and without buying any of their study guides. It was informative and there are motels to fit any budget close by.

If you fail the CPNE you can take the week long course again without paying.
