  1. I have a date

    erinp88 replied to TiffanyRN!!'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    Haha! Way fast Tiffany! Welcome to the going nuts list! You're a week after me! I wake up every morning at 3-4 am and think about the wound! I had to back off the over the counter sleeping pills, but...

  2. TUTOR for the CPNE ?

    erinp88 replied to midnite nurse's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've heard of a retired CE in Atlanta helping students. I may have that information somewhere, but probably shouldn't post it on the

  3. CPNE 20 minute check

    erinp88 replied to TiffanyRN!!'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    Studied until your brain can't hold anything and your stomach! I think I've ate 2 dozen cookies since Saturday and managed to eat 2 lbs of gummy dinosaurs since yesterday.. huh, I think I'll diagnose...

  4. how long to prepare for CPNE?

    erinp88 replied to BostonNurse2876's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Most people take 4 months. I know one girl who did it in 3 weeks. Passed with no repeats and took no workshops. She was a 50% completer of an RN program. Someone else I stumbled upon did it in 6...

  5. Sherri Taylor's online workshop

    erinp88 replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm not sure! The videos stream, and it does take a long time. But, I love the lab videos. It's exactly what I needed. Honestly, I haven't even looked at the PCS ones! That area isn't my sore spot,...

  6. Sherri Taylor's online workshop

    erinp88 replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Tiffany - I asked the nursing faculty yesterday on my phone conference about how I should deal with the unknown tubes/drainage systems. First of all, she said check the policy and procedure manual....

  7. Reproduction Anyone?

    erinp88 replied to JulesRN10's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Good luck! I remember that feeling! I suffer from test anxiety as well! It's not a fun

  8. CPNE 20 minute check

    erinp88 replied to TiffanyRN!!'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    To play it safe, I would gel again! The faculty didn't specify that we have to, but CDC regulations are to wash hands before/after each glove use. I do this at work, but I carry my own sanitizer in...

  9. CPNE 20 minute check

    erinp88 replied to TiffanyRN!!'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes!! Just make sure you wash your hands prior to the initial glove. I'm sure this all depends on the CE you

  10. Sherri Taylor's online workshop

    erinp88 replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm taking online! I live in Michigan! Not that attending a workshop is convenient to begin with, but I couldn't make it work for me! I should have signed up when I first started to prepare! The ONLY...

    erinp88 replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    well, i did it, i paid for it and i think it's wonderful! cpne or not, it's obvious to me that sherry has gone through cpne preparation through instructing others. her pass rates are the same as lynn...

  13. CPNE 20 minute check

    erinp88 replied to TiffanyRN!!'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just got off the phone with Excelsior and the person I spoke with said that we must gel our hands in between checking the site/tubing. Gloves must be off because you may have been contaminated with...

  14. Sherri Taylor's online workshop

    erinp88 replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I test March 12th! Do any of the Excelsior DVD's you have do the lab videos? Edit: oops! I just realized you have the same DVD as me and there is only one Excelsior DVD! Yeah, the workshop thing I...

  15. Help - Excelsior-Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2

    erinp88 replied to lsilva7's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just an idea, but only because it sounds like so much study time is involved, would you consider taking it online? It is more expensive, but it takes away the 'all or nothing'

  16. Sherri Taylor's online workshop

    erinp88 replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm just using the study guide and my Excelsior workbook/DVD I bought used. The planning phase is easy for me. I'm still struggling a little bit with my evaluation portion. You can also submit...

  17. Sherri Taylor's online workshop

    erinp88 replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just an FYI, I posted about taking Lynn's about 2 weeks before my scheduled CPNE date and was advised that I may be disappointed taking it so close to my date as it's geared for those just beginning...

  18. Sherri Taylor's online workshop

    erinp88 replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thank you!! You are a saint for responding! I only need it for about a month too! I think I will sign up for it.. I mostly want it for the videos. I have Rob's, but am not overly impressed with the...

  19. Sherri Taylor's online workshop

    erinp88 replied to erinp88's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I've heard random things about it, but never from anyone who has actually taken it. The person that responded to that post in the EPN, attended the actual workshop, and not the online one. The...

  21. CPNE Application

    I thought "this is annoying!" ha! Tiffany, call the SPAC as soon as your application is accepted. I've heard nothing but great things about them working with people over the

  23. CPNE Application

    erinp88 replied to TiffanyRN!!'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    I ended up just submitting the *.pdf file. It says that format isn't accepted, but it worked for me. You can also email anything you need to at [email protected] I

  24. CPNE 20 minute check

    erinp88 replied to TiffanyRN!!'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    I believe so. Civita had to check on it or something...I'm sure that one depends on the CE. You should see the list of questions I have to ask Excelsior. It's

  25. CPNE 20 minute check

    erinp88 replied to TiffanyRN!!'s topic in Online Distance Learning

    I want to say that Civita posted on the EPN in the last few weeks saying that your hands must be sanitized before checking the tubing/iv fluids. I'm going to clarify on the phone with them this
