I have purchased all of Lynns products. I have not attended a workshop. The First start guide, if that is what your referring to, is wonderful! I had no idea how to breakdown the CPNE study guide. I looked at that book and cried! I didn't have a clue on how to start studying for this test. Lynn's books are great! I love her DVD's. There are 7 people in our hospital here in GA that attended her workshop, all of them passed first try! They swear by her! One of our girls went to the workshop located here in GA because she knew the woman who teaches it. She told us that nothing she heard their matched up with the EC study guide. That the workshop was way off base for what she needed to pass the CPNE. She went to Lynn's workshop in Charlotte with 2 other ladies. Said she would not have passed, if she hadn't gone to Lynn's. I fully intend to take her workshop. I am hoping she will come back to GA. Our hospital has been low and calling people off and I need to save as much money as I can. Randy
