hi am a newbie here but i lurked on this forum for encouragement all through my LVN school and now moved to this forum for my EC.

I have read alot of posts about how you can take some classes and leave others for CPNE wait period.My general education courses are

eng comp

lifespan dvt

sociology

A$P

microbiology

am taking lifespan dvt now.could someone please tell me which ones i can leave undone to keep me busy for the CPNE wait period which i gather could be months...thanks

Well I'm not sure if I can help you too much but I'm suggesting that you CLEP Human Growth and Development and Sociology because it's cheaper to do so and less test questions. I will be taking A&P before enrolling and I'm so up in the air on Microbiology. It just seems like so much!!UGH!!!

From what I see some people are taking a lot of GE before enrolling so there's a significant amount of time to focus on the CPNE ONLY, which is what I plan to do. Others take exams while waiting for the CPNE.

Good luck!

Sorry,EC does not accept CLEP English Comp to satisfy your English requirement.I wish they did,as I still have to take it!

They sure don't. That's why I didn't mention it. But definitely Clep the other 2 classes!

I got everything done except for Lifespan before the CPNE. I found that studying for CPNE took all my time and attention. After I did the CPNE, I then did Lifespan while I was waiting for the update to my records which takes about 6 weeks.
