Passed the cpne at the amc site

I was not successful on my first attempt at the Saratoga Springs site last Nov., but elated to say I passed Jan. 29-31st 2010 at the Albany Medical Center Site. My failure I believe was mainly due to nerves and fear of the unknown rather than not being prepared. I am glad that I was able to maintain my ethusiasm and momentum by picking myself up and trying again. This is a doable exam, just know those CE and follow your grid. I could not afford a workshop both times but I utilized several resources including ROBS videos in getting to this place. I did repeat an adult and ped PCSs on Sunday on my second CPNE; however with determination and perseverance, was able to finish with a pass by 5:30PM on Sunday. Actually, I was the last student to leave on that day in my group.

LISA SARAO, (LUNAH) - you are my inspiration. You had refered me to many valuable sites Including the EPN site and answered so many questions directly or indirectly when you respond to other students. For the most part, I have been a silent observer on this site and I have learned so much on these boards. Many thanks to all and for people waiting to test, please know that you can do this. Best of luck to everyone on this journey.

Okay I read your post and was so excited for you. I also failed in November which was a very humbling experience for me. I was unable to afford the workshop either. I was given the AMC test site for April. Wish me luck. I believe it was nerves and I'm still feeling the nerves. Flying from California leaving my kids is already a tough situation. Whatever advice or suggestions you have please send them my way. I would appreciate any information you might have to share.. Thanks and CONGRATS!!!!!
