Well, after three long years I am finally finished with grad school! Through Graceland University's ADN to MSN program I have now earned a BSN with a minor in Spanish and an MSN in advanced family nursing practice. It has been really tough, not just for me, but for my wife and son. I could not have completed this endeavor without the support and help from my wife. I have received a substantial amount of my inspiration from you guys here in the distance learning forum. We have struggled together. I have sought (and given) guidance here, and this has been crucial in my success. Thank you all.
I will be taking a 10 day vacation including a 7 day cruise! Sweet. Then it will be time to study for the boards.
Also, sometime in January/February, Lisa (LunahRN) and I will be updating our CPNE notes with some extra math related material.
Congratulations. Huge accomplishment. Looks like you went straight through. I'm very happy for you. Your cpne notes were one of the reasons I passed in December. Thank you for helping me to accomplish my dream. Good to see you accomplish yours.:)
I do have a question, where can we access the Cpne notes you have shared? Are they still available for views? Thanks!!
The "notes" thread is one of the "stickies" at the bottom of the EC forum, or you can access the thread directly here: https://allnurses.com/excelsior-college-online/cpne-notes-ec-308371.html. Just be aware the notes are not updated to the latest edition of the study guide, but the basic principles still stand. :)
You're such an inspiration!! Wow, maybe I can do this!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
