CPNE workshop ( which is the best one to attend)

Published

Hello everyone, I am about to start my FCCA's via excelsior and then on my way to the CPNE- I wanted to know if anyone out there has recently taken the CPNE, how was your experience and if you attended a CPNE workshop, which one did you attend?

I would appreciate all comments.

I have been reading about a lady named Sheri Taylor , haven't read much about anyone that took the CPNE workshop at excelsior.

I went to Sheri Taylor's in person workshop and I LOVED it!!! Very helpful!! :yes:

I also did a care planning class through "no sweat clinical boot camp". I knew care planning was my biggest weakness so I took the class TWICE and it was a life saver. :bookworm:

I used RobsCPNE.com for my CPNE prep.

Some don't like it and feel it is outdated, but he does updates every time EC changes things. His videos are not high quality, but you can see everything that you need to and he really narrows it down to what you need to do to pass.

His site was recommended by a friend of mine that had gone to the Excelsior Workshop and she did not feel she learned much from it. She used Robs site after and said it really taught her what was needed, and I agree.

Thank you Chris-- I am leaning towards Sheri Taylors. I have read so many reviews and more than half had a positive response.

Hello!

I just passed CPNE this weekend in Utica. I took Christy Rodriguez's Bootcamp when she travelled to Nashville in June and also took her 12 day Careplan class. Both were absolutely amazing and contributed greatly to my success. The Bootcamp is always very small so there is a lot of hands on. We did 6 careplans and covered all areas of care.... both in practicing each assessment or management and also writing narrative notes. Christy truly CARES about her students and she encouraged me throughout the weekend with text messages, phone calls and voice mails, also Facebook messages.

Choose your workshop carefully! Not taking a workshop was never an option, and I am confident I chose the best one for me...

Specializes in EMS, ED, Trauma, CEN, CPEN, TCRN.

I did two different workshops - possibly overkill, but hey. The most important thing about a workshop in my opinion is getting together with other EC students! I felt like I was on a lonely island until I went to that first workshop. I think it is key to practice with others, whether in person, over the phone, on Skype or FaceTime, etc.

Congrats to you Barbara!!!!! If you don't mind me asking... what kind of patients were presented to you during your CPNE?? and what care plans did you use? I have so many questions for you, if you would give me the opportunity to ask .

I used every available resource given to me. I read multiple journals on this site. I youtubed people practicing their labs. The weekly phones calls to EC. I joined several groups on FB. I did Sherri's online class. I also purchased Rob's DVD. Each one of these helped. I passed my CPNE last weekend!!
