I attended the Dallas workshop Oct 30-31;it was awesome. I am so glad I decided to go. Lynn gave us valuable strategies to about how to get in,get it done,and pass. I appreciate how she didn't sugar coat things;she was honest about what we need to do to be successful on that weekend. She gave us valuable insight about what to expect so we can be prepared. As a nurse of 13 years, she gave me just what I needed, information about the CPNE structure & how to avoid common pitfalls.

I spoke with so many "first timers" and repeat test takers. I needed to hear the stories of what truly goes on during that weekend. Now it seems so real. It was amazing. :nurse:

I failed the first time.

A LOT of people - including me - got killed on IV push. Remember, too slow is better than too fast.

Lynn is awesome!! I did the CPNE THREE times (1st failure was nerves, 2nd was a documentation error and misphrasing a nursing dx statement during Eval phase) and she was there for me throughout the whole thing, every step of the way. I passed on my third attempt with no repeats.

I can really relate to that! I wil be testing in Racine, Dec 12-14th. It will be #3 and I am READY!

The IVP killed me-passed everything else! Math freaks me out. But I am ready now! Simple formula, non programable calculator...
