Day 3 of CPNE- what is the timeline like that day?

[changeofpaceRN]

Let's say worse comes to worse and you have 2 repeat PCS's and some labs to repeat.. what could be the latest you leave the hospital?

I'm trying to work around surrounding cities for a flight (like 2 hr away cities) and I'm not sure how much time to allow for Day 3- argh..

Is it possible for you to just stay in the hotel the night of day 3 and then fly home the next day? I think if you (potentially) have all PCSs to do on day 3, adding the stress of the flight time issue is not conducive to a good experience in the CPNE.

I agree, maybe it would be best to leave early in the morning. I know that would be hard too, considering you are just dying to share the good news, but anything that you could omit or avoid, that could possible add stress of any kind would be the safest bet. I am sure you are going to pass EVERYTHING the FIRST time!!! But consider leaving early AM, I know early mondays are expensive too, but maybe the extra 80-100 dollars might be worth it. :typing

I battled with this too-- the latest flight I could get out on Sunday was 6:30pm. I wanted to take it so I could rush home, but just....in.... case.... I decided to take a 7am flight out on that Monday instead. I'd hate to have my mind wandering to my flight when it should be on mneumonics :-)

What they said. Leave Monday.

But you'll be out at noon.
