:) You're absolutely right, DYatesRN...And I'm getting ready to take it, so you'd think I'd remember what it's called...must have been a combination of "brainfart" (sorry...so crude, I know), and being a "Practical" nurse too long! lol. Thanks. Jennifer, soon to be RN (I hope!)

The CPNE is the clinical practice nursing exam. It's the clinical part of the Excelsior nursing program

I'm scheduled for the CPNE on November 11-13 at SRMC in Atlanta, GA. Anyone else going these dates? I'm TERRIFIED :chair: and would love to get to know someone else who would be there the same dates! Also, any tips or peoples' experiences from here would be more than welcome, especially since I can't afford to take a workshop. Thanks to all and God bless! :nurse:Jennifer in FL :kiss

Would love to hear about your SRMC experience! I go there this November and am TERRIFIED!!! I can't afford to go to a workshop so any advice or info about your experience would be fantastic! Thanks and God bless! Jennifer :uhoh21:

You can buy all of your study guides on eBay for a third or less of what you'd pay the publisher and you're not locked in to any particular one. I started off using Chancellors and have used College Network, too. They are very similar (many study test questions exactly the same and the same as ones on the real exams) and I have gotten all A's so far, studying about 3 weeks for each. I also work full time and have two little ones (5 and 3). It's tough, but it can be done! Good luck and God bless!
