I tested there April 1st. Only 3 of us passed out of 7. Great site though CA and CE's were exceptional.

You will not be able to access the final exam until the 8th week. You will not be able to register for CPNE until your grade is official. Good luck.

I have not. I know how you feel. I am hoping for Nov-Feb. It's hard to keep focus sometimes when you don't have that date.

Congratulations! I applied in May for CPNE. Once you are given access to the CPNE portal download the study guide. Start getting your required documents together to submit your application. There is some Facebook groups CPNE Rate your workshop and Let's Conquer the CPNE Beast Together. The discussion board on Excelsior's website is pretty good also. Good Luck!

It's been a while, but I found the practice exams very helpful. Good Luck!

I agree with ratlady. Join the military as a corpsman if you can. Do four years and get your GI Bill. You will get some independence and a chance to grow. You can probably work on pre-reqs while you are in and have Tuition Assistance pay for most of it. Good Luck.

New Orleans.

I PM'd you

I'm leaning that way as well. Have you checked the "CPNE Rate your workshop" on facebook? Also Sherri has a careplan plan book on Kindle "Care Plan Study Guide: How to Write Passing Care Plans for the CPNE". for 99 cents. It's pretty good in my opinion. She also has a condensed version of Study Guide. I downloaded it but haven't printed or looked at it yet.

I downloaded it to my computer and tablet. Always have it with me. I also have the audio CD in my car. Listen to everyday on the way to work.

I have been following since you started this topic OP. Are you so lazy that you can't spell out your words, use capitalization and punctuation? It's driving me nuts. I am relieved to hear you won't be beside long. With your attitude and apparent lack of a work ethic it would be a surprise if you lasted that long. Sorry to get off topic.

I used SG101 for all of my tests EXCEPT FCCA. I studied my Fundamentals book and reviewed the MODs prior to final. Good Luck!

You weren't hired to gain new skills. You were hired to do a job.

I've been working on it for a couple years. I finished FCCA Feb last year just before I retired from the Navy. Took a break and applied for CPNE last month. It can be done a lot faster. I think average time is 18-24 months.

TCN is a publishing company.

Each course has a content guide with recommended study materials. There are also practice exams. It's an added expense but I thought it was worth the money. I used Study Group 101 and was happy with results. I have finished all my course work and waiting for a CPNE date. Good luck. Message me if you have any other questions.

Go back to school when you are ready. You might want to start with one or two classes before you jump into a full schedule. "can I still be a good nurse if I get my anxiety 100 percent under control.... " I can't answer that one. That's all on you. Good luck.

I used the practice exams for every test. It was worth the money. Reviewing all the rationales for the answers (even the incorrect ones) helped me. Good luck.

Just applied for CPNE. The rationale would be specific for the care plan. Are they giving you anything more specific than "use something else"?

Submitted my CPNE application last month.

Tasha, Congratulations. I am taking LS2 on Friday. Hoping to be finished before summer. I am interested in the resources you mentioned. Thanks in advance and good luck! Tom

Hey, I just started also. I took Transitions first. I studied a couple hours a night for a month. I used SG101 and the Excelsior Practice tests and I got a B. SG101 is company that sells study guides for Excelsior Nursing exams and other tests. Home I was a little skeptical, but completely satisfied with the results. I plan on using SG101 and the Excelsior Practice exams for Health Safety. I am going to study 2 hours a night for a 2 weeks then take a practice exam and see where I stand. Sounds like you have a good plan. My only advice is to stick to it. Good Luck

I used to be stationed in Lemoore. I did all of my prereqs at Westhills Lemoore. At the time they did not have a Nursing Program but they do now. COS in Visalia would be another option.
