Hello all, I haven't frequent these boards in a while but I thought I would post. I passed the CPNE Oct 10-13 at AMC. It was the single most stressful event in my life to date. I have a journal Im almost complete and I will post it when I'm done, currently Im on page 10 and only going into day 3 so it will be long and detailed. My advice to all is, pick a workshop and do it, stick with a orginazational plan and grid and use some type of stress management. This test isnt hard, we make it hard but all the extra stress and pressure we put on ourseleves. It is a doable test with a little guidance and studying.
[color=#48d1cc]yes, the stress is incredible during the cpne, but when they say "you've passed" on the 3rd or last patient care situation, the stress just goes away. you can actually feel the weight leave your shoulders.
Specializes in ER and family advanced nursing practice.
Congrats! I am always happy to hear about another paramedic getting through! Don't sweat the NCLEX, and you will enjoy your new grad program. What area of nursing are you thinking about?
