Eng. Comp 1 &2
Beg, Algebra
Intermediate Algebra
Gov.
History
Spanish 1,2,3
Macroecomonics
Religion
Asian Studies
Plus other classes
I have not had : Micro and Speech.
How long did it take to complete a nursing module? I look forward to learing all I can about the CPNE. Where are the locations again?
I just finished LPN school in Nov. 08, passed boards in Dec. 08. Discouraged at the job choices here lately before I finished school one hospital seemed to always have openings since October, nothing.
Do you have to do medication administration during the 2nd day of CPNE?
Yep! I did, for every patient, on the second and third days of the CPNE. I gave a lot of PO meds, two IV minibag antibiotics, and one Lovenox shot SQ. You won't do IVP meds on patients during the patient care situations (PCSs), but you might be assigned to flush a saline/hep lock.
First... thank you guys for being very patient with our questions. But since you're all talking about CPNE (I'm still waiting for EC to approve my application), I thought I'd ask another question.

how do I know an "RN Level" book in the Incredibly Easy books? Are there 2 kinds? What are the names of some good RN level books. We were told our Med Surg book that we used for LPN class was an RN level book. The book we used for LPN Med Surg. class was Understanding Med Surg. by Williams and Hopper, 3rd Edition. I am not sure though if it is an RN level.
Just looked on Amazon and saw my med surg , guess it is an LPN level book according to the review.
Fundimentals of nursing, the art and science of nursing care 6th edition Lippincott, Williams.
Phipps' Medical-Surgical nursing Health and illness perspectives 8th edition Monohan.
It would be easier to get the recommended texts. You can download content guides from excelsior's site and they will tell you which chapters you need to study for that test.
