Excelsior question

Hi

Should I complete my nursing exams first (before general requirements I only need 12 more general education credits)because from what I understand, The cpne cant be scheduled until all nurses exams completed and their is a wait time for CPNE date, so in that time waiting I could complete my general requirements? or will I need that whole time to study for CPNE? what are most people doing?

    In order to register for the CPNE you need to be within 10 gen ed credits of completion. I left 2 classes until the end, sociology and lifespan psych, thinking I would have so much time to get those done while waiting for a date. What I didn't realize was how much work there is getting through the application process and then wanting to get started on studying for CPNE. Plus, I applied early March and already have a date for the end of June so its a lot quicker then I anticipated making it more difficult for me to get the other classes out of the way. I wish I had done them first, so thats my advice for you- get them over with now!!

    I am cpne eligible and only have lifespan to finish. the application process (just thinking about it) is exhausting. I agree with MegRT.

    i started all of the nursing exams, but i only have micro and anatomy to finish (yeah, only =-). so, in a couple of weeks, when i finish lifespan 3, i'm not gonna drop a beat, i'm gonna get microbiology out of the way. i'm hoping to finish it up about the same time as the fcca. then, i'm going to a workshop the first of june, then, hopefully, finish anatomy in mid june, and cpne around august. i got in on the package they offered last summer though, so i got no choice, those two have to be done by the end of july or i pay a hefty price. it sounds like a great plan. i hope i can keep up the pace! good luck on whichever way you choose!

    I had all of my general ed classes done first because I had been going to school prior to EC. It turned out that way. I suggest getting them done first because you don't want anything holding you up at the end.
