I passed the CPNE!!!!

[BBFRN]

I passed the CPNE at SRMC in Atlanta!!! Woohoo!!! A couple more general eds and I'm done!!! To all of those here who haven't done this exam yet, lemme tell you- it was more stressful than I had anticipated, but very doable. You have to study that study guide front to back, have some menmonics for the critical elements, do everything THEIR WAY, and do those grids! You cannot prepare for this too much. And you can't let the stress get to you. I am so glad it's over, but I'm really proud to have accomplished this on the first try, too.

Ladybug was one of the other passers, too! I was really glad she was there- we had a really good time in the midst of it all. Whew! I'm glad that's over with!!!

LOL!! I was going to point out that I had just responded! :)

Let me add -- the study guide for this sucker is 502 pages. Excelsior is not messing around with this one bit! LOL

And does this mean I can look forward to the resurrection of my "I passed CPNE!" post in the year 2012?

We used to call it 'the carjack,' because you could jack up your car with it if you had to.

:rotfl:

I saw this thread on my mod page, and I was wondering when in the world I had started this thread :chuckle.

Dude, I can't remember as far back as 2004.

Also- ANNOUNCEMENT:

I no longer have any of these study materials. Please don't PM me asking for them- I had a computer that crashed a few years ago, and subsequently lost all of those files.

(I have been wondering for years why I still kept getting PM requests for study materials. Now I know why. I was handing out stuff all over the place in this thread...LOL).
