CPNE process

[Boston-RN]

OK I just came back from passing Micro and I am CPNE eligible (so I've calculated). When can I submit my application? Also my CPR expires in August 2007 do I need to renew it now or will Excelsior accept a CPR card that has not yet expired but probably will before I test unless I get a cancellation date?

Any other helpful tips? I plan on signing up for the Excelsior workshop any other suggested study resources?

Okay, I don't think "GIDGET3411" is for real.

On 5/2/07 this person posted that they used Lisa Arends' study guides and TCN study guides and got all A's. Also posted to another thread that she/he had passed all 7 of the NC exams and had the CPNE study guide and was looking for the application forms. So, this leads one to believe that this person is enrolled in EC and has therefore met all the admission criteria, but this person is obviously not a licenced nurse or paramedic, or corpsman or respiratory therapist. Sorry, doesn't add up. Oh, has NO clinical experience just pharmacy and made all "A's" at that. NO WAY!

Then on 5/10/07 this person posted that she/he would be going to GA (same location as Melody went to) in July for the CPNE exam. Now are we to believe that this person got the application all filled out, the physical, shot records and background check AND got a CPNE date when for the rest of us, it takes weeks to get the application process done and even hear from EC for a CPNE date that is 4-9 months out? AND, between now and July, this person is going to take not 1 but 2 workshops to get the clinical experience needed.

Now on this thread we learn that she/he doesn't have a clue how RN/ADN got on her/his profile and this person has NO clinical experience, but has nursing friends that let her/him watch them at work and these same nurses "fill me in".

All this is a joke and I hope that Eric is checking in and this person should be banned.
