Finally did it! CPNE date 11-18-11!

Published

hey everyone! so i finally did it. i have been cpne eligible since september '09 and i just set up a payment plan and got a date for the cpne. my date is 11-18-11 medcentral health system in mansfield, oh. i have about 5 1/2 months to prepare and i want to be ready. there will be no second shot for me. if i fail, i will just go back to a brick and mortar. i have printed a small library worth of journals, tips, the ec study guide, etc. i just don't know where to start! so here's my question. can anyone give me some tips on studying?? like, what did you do from the second you started till you took the cpne? i have never been a studier so this is where i am struggling! where, how, what? oh, and if anyone can share some info about the testing site that would be wonderful. i have watched soooo many wonderful people here start and finish the program over the last couple years and now i am ready to finish too!!! i want to be successful so i need a good jump start! thank you all so much :)

maybe it is a site specific thing? i know for mine, a document for the uuh syracuse confidentiality agreement i had to sign popped up after i got my date.

it turned out to be site specific..when i printed my confirmation pdfs off my message on ec they were exactly what i needed. now they have everything they need from me and life ends and studying begins! lol thank you!!!
