So thrilled to share I have passed CPNE in Utica. Just got home and had to share with allnurses! I am going to take a nap now, trouble sleeping all weekend, .
The site was really nice, the examiners were very fair, recommend the site!! Stress is one of the biggest challenges. You must dot all your i's and cross all your T's. I took Tina in PA workshop, I couldn't have done it without it! You have to know your critical elements, and your careplanning/charting. Know a bunch of us here are coming up to CPNE, so had to share my good news!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!:yeah:
Very happy for you. After you have rested and everthing has sunk in, please let us know how you did it and how the entire weekend unfolded. Also would love to know if you're selling any prep material. You can email me @ [email protected].
Thanks everyone for the kind congrats! I got my date 3/2 I think, so I have a little over eight weeks. I took a workshop http://www.necworkshop.com/home
and have been studying like mad for the past eight weeks. There is alot to know, and I am not kidding when I say you need to know your critical elements. You need to know how to use the Mosby's care plan book, and how to write a good nursing dx, charting, evaluation. I chose to take a workshop, I needed guidance to navigate the critical elements and memory cues to make up a grid to follow.
The people who were there trying to get thru it on previous experience were not successful. I was surprised anyone would try to go on their previous work experience with a $2000 test. certainly helps, but you need to do it their way, in the correct order, and in a certain amount of time. With that said, I have to say it is doable, 4 out of 6 passed it. You are performing basic RN nursing skills. Keeping nerves in check is a big obstacle, for me anyway! Practice practice practice the skills! Good luck to the many people here who I see coming up to this test. It feels good to have completed the program!!!

Thanks for the info K! I realized that I am going to need the workshop. I have not worked a day "on the floor" in.....15 years +/-! I start thinking about, how am I going to know when to do what?! lmao....I can't remember my 'routine' to save my life, lol! Again, thanks for sharing! Now you can kick back with your NCLEX study materials and enjoy your summer
