I passed my CPNE in Savannah in early April. Anyone that needs help, send me an email and I will respond. I know first hand, that any help is appreciated when taking the CPNE.

Depends on the site. 6-8 months

Graduated in June. Started Hospice position two days ago after passing state boards

Hopefully you noticed that I just passed my NCLEX 7-7-10.First advice,do everything exaggerated. What I mean, tell the Graders what you are doing, wash your hands infront of them, count outloud each pulse, breath, bowel sound. Next, in no way, violat...

:yeah:I took my NCLEX 0n 7-7-10. I had all 265 questions. I thought my brain was going to explode. When I was able to, I used the PVT and got the GOOD Pop up. Confirmed it today, with quick results. PASSED, first try. I am an Excelsior College Gradua...

The good pop up worked for me. Got quick results today, PASS. I took all 265 questions

How soon before you could actually take the test?

I agree with your statements. I am not going any further in education but believe it is a terrible shame that the BSN's see little more money, respect, etc for their investment

So, the importance is not patient care or experience, it's how you made the hospital look as far as ratings? Perfect example of what's wrong with our field.

Here in NC, there is no difference. MSN are in need for education and higher case manager jobs, but ADN BSN has no pay diff or difference in hiring

Just curious, how long it takes from the time the State board gets my official transcripts, will I finally get permission to take the boards?

I already registered with pearson. I am in NC. My transcripts will be ovenight delivery on june 12th. Just was asking for a ballpark figure as to how long it takes before I will get my ATT and actually take the boards

I took my CPNE in Savannah. My patients were 16 year old with Diabetic Ketoacidosis, 50 year old with abdominal Resection and another adult with amputation of the right foot. My med pass was lovenox injection, and B/P meds. The hardest thing about my...

It was a hurry up job, for Obama's political status. Such a shame, a stronger bill could have formed if they would have taken more time.

The results are "curved" according to what students at incampus colleges scored. I too was baffled by my test grades, sometimes a 86 was an A, sometimes a B.

:chair:I have been in nursing for 30 years, 20 which was in the military and also passed Excelsior college Clinicals last month. I have never felt as if I was discriminated against because I was a male. I have had clients husbands request that a fema...

Great Job! Nobody understands going through that test unless you actually did it.

You sound like you have the same core that I did. You probably will have to take the 7 nursing classes and the required english and computer ones too. Pay the money, they will give you a clear outline of what you need to do. I graduate next month and...

The "best place" is difficult to determine. It depends on your interests, your desire of what is more important, such as a higher paid position or one that is more rewarding. I was forced to work MotherBaby Unit, which I expected to hate, but turned ...

It is unusual for me to give advise, but since it was asked for... here goes: Life is too short and we spend so much of it at work. Actively seek a job that will allow you to look back in 5 years and say to yourself, it was time not wasted. I am look...

I am graduating from Excelsior next month. A short version response to your questions. You do not need to be a superBrain, but you need determination and grit. I had some problems with the classes, but it was minimal. The CPNE is another story. I had...

I would look toward education deficit... this could be anything from actual Dx, Diet, etc. I know you are asking about long term things, but considering the cause and long term pt management of a GI bleed I think this is one area to examine. Also, an...
