Thanks for the support...I brought out some of my nursing books today...what should I start with? What would you recommend to start with first..to start studying for the CPNE??? The lab part or the PCS????

I am so happy that your 13 year old is ok.....I have been looking at all your posts...I am soooo impressed!!!! I finished all my NC tests and pre req's in March. I am just stressing out about the CPNE. I am so proud of you that you are all done. I just don't feel like studying for the CPNE. Nursing would be my 2nd profession. I have already been at my current job for 26 years..but took off 3 years to get my pre req's for Rn school... but at the time they were laying off RN's and hiring LPN's..so I went to LPN school in 95'. Now, I am wanting to do something different and go back into nursing... I am just scared of the CPNE. I am not ready to get all stressed out about the CPNE. Is it really that bad? I don't have that much experience as a nurse............

Hi there, I am a LPN....but I decided to take a break from the program till maybe Fall. I am in no big hurry to do the CPNE. I currently am not working in the Nursing field.

Hi there, I am all done with my NC tests and pre req's. I am so happy!!! Is there anyone in Washington state who is studying for the CPNE? It would be fun to chat or talk with you. I plan on taking my CPNE in Az. Has anyone tested there?

Hi, I like Excelsior...I am a LPN and this is a good route to go!! I have been very happy Excelsior.

Hi, It was hard.. a lot of nursing jargon in the questions. You need to know the nursing process and follow the EC content guide. You will be fine!! Good luck

Hi There, I don't think there is any school that you can go part time. I am a LPN and I did all my RN pre req's at GRCC. I wanted to go to a "regular" nursing school....but each one had different pre req's. Highline, TCC and BCC. I am doing the Excelsor college RN program. It is not on line. It is a self study. You need to take A&P 200, pys 100, 210, micro..ect. just like traditional nursing school. You take 7 nursing tests and then the clinical at the end. I really like it. I work full time and have 3 children too. This is great for me. I already took 2 test and passed them both. It is nice because you don't have to go to a classroom. I heard all the "horror" stories about the clinical at the end. I know a lot of people that went this route and passed with flying colors. They are great RN's today.
