    Bill, just tell yourself that it will only get better from here! Also, please pay attention to any nondisclosure-on-social-media paperwork that you might see and sign; I believe it applies only to the testing weekend, but I really don't know for sure, of course.

    I've arrived at the hospital. A little early but I'd rather be early than late. Sitting in parking lot going over study guide. God I could use a xanax.

    Day 1 of the CPNE is in the record books. So far so good. I'm the only guy in the group of 6 and the only medic. Apparently I am in the first group of testers to go through this hospital in wisconsin, lucky me. There is a rep. from excelsior that flew in to make sure there are no hiccups. I guess that's a good thing.

    I'm back at the hotel now and have to be back at the hospital at 6:50am to do the PCS's. Lord help me!

    Gonna go to my hotel room and take a hot bath!

    I'll post more tomorrow when I have something to post.

    That's great! Did they have a check off sheet to go by or was it subjective?

    So how long was the wait from the time you were first accepted for the CPNE?
