Did you already sign on the dotted line for this??

You can pick up the recommended textbooks on Amazon sometimes really cheap. I used studygroup101 study guides for all my exams and they are really good with lots of practice questions and stuff and they are portable. I highly recommend them. They also have audio review now. Always get the practice exams and study from those also going over the rationales. Waiting on my CPNE date! :yes:

thanx for replying. I just received studygroup101 materials in the mail today, a friend of mine recommended them as well. Did you use any of the required textbooks or did you rely on studygroup101? Good luck with your CPNE, how long did it take you to complete all exams?

Also check eBay for used "the college network modules" I never signed with college network and Don't. But their modules were what I used. I paid like thirty bucks apiece on eBay. Also are u part of any of the facebook groups for students? If not pm me and I can get u some more information about that to help ya. Good luck. I did excelsior and loved it!

Thanks I will look into those modules... I'm unable to PM you for some reason though, but would really appreciate any info about the FB groups

Hi. I just graduated this February. There are two things I recommend, the practice exams, and the study group 101. I bought some of the recommended books, but I relied mostly on SG101 which was very helpful and an easy read. I disagree with the other who left a comment regarding the college network. I have read so many posts and been to different forums and most comments about the TCN have been nothing but positive. I have not personally used it but based on what I learned, TCN is a waste of money. SG101 is cheap and tested. I actually wish I did not buy too many books but used SG101 more. Please be aware that CPNE is tough. To say it is stressful, is an understatement. Good luck!

I'm debating on doing Excelsior myself. I have heard good and bad. Have any of you done the clinical part yet?
