Hello all and thanks for the info in advance. I am and LPN and moving to Florida the end of December and am looking for an IV certification class anywhere in Florida. I need to get certified and get a job as soon as possible.

I tested and passed in Utica in 2012 and the CE told me that a group of them rotate sites in NY so I would think any site in NY would be good. Good Luck!!

Hope this helps someone-ask me anything you want-couldn't have done it without reading other journals and all the post on here, Excelsior and Facebook-Thank You all!! :redbeathe Here is how I prepared and passed the CPNE - I always learned something ...

St Lukes

The cheapest flight was southwest and they only flew to Albany. I took it at Utica because I had heard so many good things about Utica at the time, plus didn't want any peds patients if I could avoid it and didn't get one either so guess it worked!!...

Not on here much anymore but so glad to see this post - CONGRATS GN!!!!!!!

Everybody learns in their own way-do what works for you! I used the study guides for some classes but just not enough for others - at least for me. I bought all the books an edition or 2 older than suggested, never paid more than $10 for any book-A...

You will need A&P with lab and Micro with lab plus Statistics. I had the A&P and the Micro with labs already but am doing my Stats right now and soooooo wish i would have done it before I started WGU. You could do the statistics would be a ...

I chose a date 4 months out and when I got that day it really pushed me to practice, practice, practice. I worked at it but until the date was set in stone I didn't really push myself. Guess I needed that motivation, after I got my date I practices...

Congrats GN!!!!!!!!!!

Woo Hoo!!! Congrats and Good Luck!!!

Congrats ladies and Good Luck!! Lots of good info on here about CPNE-couldn't have passed with out it. Practice, Practice, Practice and then Practice some more!!

Graduated for Excelsior last year and start April 1st RN-BSN. Yes Micro and A&P both have to have lab-mine did and both transferred, the only thing I need is Biochem, Statistics and US History(strange) and their Nursing Courses. Start in a few...

I failed 2 of the test also when using just SG101 notes and the practice exams. Downloaded the study guides and bought the recommended books from Amazon-usually a edition or two older to save money. Passed them all and went on to pass CPNE and NCLE...

Show is it going - I start on April 1st and just wanted to see how you all are doing.

Same here - start 4/1 and 6 months or less is my goal!!! Ready to get started!!!

I understand I got totally overwhelmed when I applied for CPNE finally decided I had to break it down or I would just dissolve in a puddle of tears. So I started with reading the CPNE study guide all the way through - then kept out Section 4 and hig...

Good Luck to you both and like Lunah said practice, practice, practice. I think that is what made my weekend easier-I had practiced so much could do it in my sleep!!

So sorry to hear this I have been thinking about you all weekend. The wreck would have done me in too - can't image how I would have made it through since the CPNE is enough stress. Sounds like you have this, so glad to hear you are going back ASAP...

Not suspicious at all I just commented on what she ask if Sheri's program is good or not. What you said had to say had nothing to do with it. If you look at my history I have been on here since 2008 and have made comments on several post about Sher...

I took Sherri's online and in person workshop and yes her in person workshop is crowded and I think I could have done just fine with the online only. I really went into CPNE prepared and that was all thanks to Sherri's videos and Care Plan preparati...

Passed CPNE in May of 2012 and still remember I felt like I wanted to throw up when I hit submit for my application! Sherri Taylor's is fantastic-her online has videos of labs and PCS's you can watch over and over. I also recommend buying her CPNE ...

Took and passed my CPNE in Utica in May of 2012 - loved it, small hospital and CA and CE's very nice. They really want you to pass you just have to show them you know what you are doing. There were 7 my weekend and 6 passed, the one who didn't neve...

Good Luck - take it one thing at a time - on Friday just focus on the labs, then one patient at a time-don't over think it - You got this!!!!!!!! By the way they give you 15 min to look around the labs and they step out of the room - unwrap the AB...

I applied and did all the pre assessment test in November but due to some family issues had to put it off, called my enrollment counselor yesterday and was told I can't start until April because Feb and March are full. Oh well will be a BSN by the e...
