How to pass the CPNE:
1. Get robs cpne video and e-books
They were well worth the 70 bucks.
2. Read the cpne manual from excelsior and do the critical thinking exercises. It will inform you on the specifics of the exam. I.e. What to document on intake and output
3. Setup a sim lab and practice areas of care and labs
4. Download ivan harts notes from this site. They r very detailed and helpful
That, in a nutshell, is how I passed first time with no repeats.
I'm scheduled to take the cpne on 12/02/11 and you mention Ivan Harts, but I can't seem to find his notes anywhere. Where should I look?
His notes are here: https://allnurses.com/distance-learning-nursing/cpne-notes-ec-308371.html
Just be aware that they are a bit out of date as far as exact correspondence to the current study guide (17th).

Its obvious that I don't post much on here, but this site has been instrumental in my passing the CPNE this past weekend (June 25-27) at NYHQ with no repeats. A special thanks to Ivan and Lunarn for the notes and also ROBSCPNE. This week I will post a doc about my experience. Again, thanks to all on the site for their insights and help. More to come.
Thanks,
Sbuxdrinkr, GN
