the CPNE

I live in Seattle area, I am pretty nervous too. I am planning to take my CPNE in Mansfield? about you

Ask this in Distance Learning.

I just flunked it.

:uhoh:

I just passed in Feburary. It is a MUST that you attend the Chancellors seminar in Indiana in order to pass the CPNE. I passed all stations and PCSs the first time around. There were 8 people at my test site, all that attended Chancellors passed, all that didn't failed. Take your CPNE at Meriter Hospital in Madison WI, the CE/CAs are awesome and forgiving. The Excelsior prep course is a total waste of time and money.

thanks I am going to try the electronic Peer.

that is a great idea

i became eligible last month for the cpne, I have the EC study guide, Rob's video, a copy of study aides off ebay. I live in phoenix so workshops out west are limited so im taking the next EC workshop here. EPN on excelsior is EXTREMLY informative. I have to say when you look, listen and read all the information out there, it can get a little stressful, you dont know who's version to go with, because your all only goal is to pass. But believe it or not, all of sudden it just clicks, you get your gameplan and that is all you focus on. Sure you might of wasted a few dollars, with one too many "study guides", but using the resources that are available and putting it all together, for what works for YOU, is the most important. goodluck to you

I took Lynn's workshop when she was in Jackson, MS (Sometime back in March) . It was way too early for me to be taking one but I wanted to take advantage of her being so close. I'm taking the CPNE September 26 in Madison and plan to take another workshop a couple of weeks before then.

i took cpne in april and passed with no workshops!!!! i only had 2 weeks to really study. i had been studying somewhat before. i had no test date yet when they called with a cancellation date. i ordered the flash cards which break down the study guide into the easiest way to memorize it. however, don't neglect to read the study guide at least twice, esp. unit iv.:yeah:i was an lpn for 4 years plus other medical field experience.

I recently tested in Mansfield, OH and passed on my third attempt. I HIGHLY recommend a workshop. You can read about my experience in an earlier thread in this forum.
