If you fail part of the CPNE.. do you have to retake the WHOLE exam

Published

or just that portion that you failed? What about the fee? Do you have to pay the entire fee over again or just a part? Is the wait to retest just as long as long as the first time? Just trying to look at the worse case senario before I decide on which college I go to.. thanks!

**Of course- we will ALL pass so there really is no worry right?! :-)**

Well...

There are 4 labs (wound, injection, IV push and IV piggyback) you can redo each of these once. You do 3 patient care scenario (PCS) 2 adults and 1 pedi. You can repeat 1 adult and 1 pedi......All of this in 1 weekend.

IF you fail you do have to repeat the whole weekend. It costs the same as the original and you have to wait all over again.

Clear as mud?

They don't ask you to do anything that is really difficult just to know it by heart by the book and don't mess up. I'm testing in 4 days and about to poop myself.

Lunah,

Do you know any members that are from texas? I heard today from excelsior that Texas students through excelsior will have to take some kind of ethics test through the board in order to get their liscense, effective Sept 1, 2008.

I haven't heard anything about that ... you should post this as a new conversation/thread, though -- I'll bet txspadequeen921 will have a comment or two about that!

It's actually going to eventually be a requirement for all applicants in Texas, not just EC graduates. Here is some discussion about the Nursing Jurisprudence Exam (NJE).

It looks like it's currently being discussed. I'd be surprised if they're able to implement it by 9/08.

Here's a separate thread for that discussion so that we can keep the discussion related to the CPNE on this one.
