I passed my CPNE in Utica, New York last weekend. It was a wonderful test site. I am so glad that I specifically chose Utica as my test site. If any of you will be testing there in the future, I can try to answer any questions you have about that test site from my experience. It really helps to take away any unknowns that you can to help reduce the stress!!

If you are talking about Lynn's workshop based in Charlotte, North Carolina, that is the first workshop that I took. I went to her Charlotte classroom and did the full three day program. This was how I started to prepare for the CPNE. I read the entire study guide one time then I attended her workshop and it was very helpful to me in breaking down the study guide and helping me understand what I needed to study and learn because I was very overwhelmed at first. I studied for three months then I took the Excelsior workshop to validate that I was ready for my CPNE and I was very happy with that workshop. I had no prior hospital experience so I felt I needed extra help in preparing for the CPNE. Depending on your work experience, you may not need these workshops at all. They really helped me understand what was expected of me and took away a lot of the fear and unknowns.

I agree. I liked Utica. Just a tip: if you want to stay cheap (like me) look up the Pine Crest Motel. It isn't great, but it is quiet and runs about $45/night. It's about 2 miles from the hospital.

Hi, I'm thinking about EC but terrified of the CPNE. What was good about Utica? And how did you handle your nerves? Thanks.
