I was scheduled for 2-12-2010 in Plano and just got a call telling me that Medical Center in Plano has not renewed their contract with Excelsior. The reason stated is they could not get enough patients for Excelsior. So, now I am being moved to 2-2...

I just learned that it isn't the lack of patients but the lack of physical space that caused the end of CPNE testing at Plano. I don't want to spread any wrong information. Tom

I bought used College Network books off EBAY and liked them. If you are not LPN background, you should purchase the full "Fundamentals of Nursing" text. I went to Paramedic school and the nuring text helped me start thinking like a nurse. Tom

Congrads and thanks for the write-up. It gives those of us following behind you hope.

if you do a google search for cpne, you will likely see a new website that claims to compare the different workshops. the website says "this is the official cpne workshop review site, written by students for students to help you know the real deal...

As another medic, I would second the advice given. Sign up directly with Excelsior. Don't sign up with any of the third party study guide providers. Good Luck and keep coming back to this Forum. There are always lots of helpful people here. T...

i attended lynn's cpne workshop in dallas this week too. i learned lots of stuff from it and plan to retake it when i actually get near my cpne date. one of the big things i learned from her workshop is to make sure you have a plan of attack for the ...

The reading you are doing is good review, but likely much more than you need to do in order to pass your first EC test. Pick up a good study guide for NC1 off EBAY and study from it. It will be much faster. Then if there are any areas that you kno...
