excelsior cpne

Just finishing up the last excelsior nursing concept exam. Just wondering how others are finding the cpne...Is is really difficult. One nurse I work with states that if you know your clinical elements and practice the lab portion until it's second nature you should be ok. It seems however that I keep reading that documentation is a sticking point for some people. I guess for me it is just fear of the unknown...Any information would be appreciated...what the expect etc. thanks for any help..;)

I just passed the cpne this weekend in Mansfield OH, and it was a very stressful experience. For documentation just make sure you have one line for each critical element at least. I had trouble with the care plans and almost failed on 2 of my 3 PCS's. But the CA was great and she really tried helping me out to be able to justify to her why my interventions justified the diagnoses. You have to keep very organized during your PCS's. I was very organized and went through the actual patient care portion without any problems. The lab portion was not that bad and all the CA's kept looking around the room not really paying attention and looking board out of their minds.

Moved to the Distance Learning Forum for more responses. Good luck!
