HI, I've been an LVN for many years and am doing the LVN to RN program with Excelsior and plan on taking the CPNE next Spring in Racine,Wisconsin--[i think, unless there is a closer and better testing site]. I would very much like a 'study buddie' to 'get through this' with. I live in Oakland,Ca.,but anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area will do!!.. I took the CPNE 1 1/2 years ago @ Long Beach and it was horrible...the worse experience I've ever encountered..[they've since closed it down, as there were hundred of complaints]..I've decided to 'try it one more time. What I want is a female study partner,so that we can go to Tina's 4 day workshop in San Jose together, sign up for the exam @ the same time for Racine, Wisconsin,[or where ever].. and share Hotel expenses.... Is there ANYONE OUT THERE, that is in 'my situation' [or knows of someone--friend/relative??] that would welcome a CPNE support situation?? Flying across the country for a 3 day exam is going to be very stressful, so if anyone is out there and wants to do this or knows of anyone -- any and all leads would be GREATLY APPRECIATED... thanks, judy

https://allnurses.com/forums/images/editor/menupop.gif HI I'm a LVN in the Excelsior RN program... I took an passed all 8 RN exams and took the CPNE in Long Beach 1 1/2 years ago, and didn't make it--it was horrible,horrible..[they have since closed down the site as there were tons of complaints with the testing]. Anyway, I want to 'try it one more time', and would like a 'study buddie' to do this with, and to go to Tina's 4 day workshop in San Jose, and then take the exam together in Racine,Wisconsin--sharing Hotel expenses,and having someone to study with/give morale support/'stay strong mode' with...[i won't take my husband again,because as sweet as he is, he's a 'worrier'..not needed at this time!!].. Is anyone studying for the CPNE in the San Francisco Bay Area and would like to 'pair up' ?...[or does anyone know of a friend/relative in this area,that I could contact??} Would GREATLY APPRECIATE any leads.... thanks, judy

Hi, I'm an LVN who is the LVN to RN program with Excelsior.. I've completed all of the 8 Excelsior exams, took the CPNE 1 1/2 years ago in Long Beach and didn't make it...it was a horrible,horrible experience... [they since closed it down as there were so many complaints, the Examiners were a nightmare,etc.]. Anyway, I'm ready to 'try it again', and would like to know if there is anyone out there who lives in the Oakland,/Berkeley/Walnut Creek/ Bay Area, who is also struggling in trying to take the CPNE???... I would definitely like a 'study buddie', and also someone to go to Tina's 4 day workshop with in San Jose, and then fly together back to Racine, Wisconsin with to share Hotel expenses and also give each other morale support/stay strong attitude... It's a difficult exam, and I just feel that having a 'buddy'- especially going across country [i won't take my husband..he went last time with me and it was waaay too distracting, as he's a 'worrier'... Is there ANYONE OUT THERE...[or if you know some someone [a relative/friend??],who lives in my area, that is also facing the CPNE.... Would appreciate it greatly.... judy
