http://www.cheducation.com This is the only program that I have seen that provides not only a comprehensive review / prep for the CPNE but outlines why things are done the way they are. Tina the program's director / teacher has taught college level programs and has several advanced degree as well as being an Excelsior RN Grad. She will even call you before your CPNE to review questions and then is available to call during your weekend for advice / support / encouragement. I would have paid her twice the fee.
Besides all of that you can visit SanFrancisco after the course and relax a little too.
Good Luck!!

Just wondering why there is a workshop in Cali when we can't practice there unless you have previous RN experience. Who's her local clients she speaks of?
Anyone enrolled before 12/6/04 can get initial licensure in Cali w/out any addition requirements. I live in Michigan and it was well worth the trip.

I found the workshop offered by EC to be very helpful when I passed in 2005. I know that Tina's workshop (CHE) also comes highly recommended.
