CPNE where to start

Published

Specializes in pediatric, geriatric.

I have my last test (NC 7 )in less than two weeks. I have been taking a test every three weeks to get through these exams so I am right on schedule.

Then I will be able to apply for the CPNE.

What does anyone suggest the 1st step should be to start preparting for the CPNE??

I am on maternity leave for about another month and a half so I would like to get started on as much as I can before going back to work.

THANKS for any help or advice!!!!!!!!!!!

Well really focus on passing NC7 I failed that test and so did a friend of mine. Call EC and get them to send you a copy of the 15th edition of the studyguide. Then read it make up mneumonics and learn your critical elements. Visit the EPN board on EC website. Lots of great info on there. Consider going to a workshop. Set up a lab in your home. Good Luck to you!

Definitely consider a workshop. There are some tickies at the top, one from me about the Excelsior workshop, and one from Ivan and Lunah about passing the CPNE.

i encourage you to look into buying rob's cpne video. i bought it because it was so hard for me to visualize what was going to take place. this dvd shows you step by step... i have heard nothing but great things from others and after watching it for 30 min or so i have come to feel more comfortable with it....best $40 i have ever spent....my official cpne cram starts 12/15/008 ...whhooooo hooooooo
