Hello to all. I am studing for my nclex rn and I am getting really nervous! In 2005 I took the nclex PN and passed on the first try. But I heard the nclex RN was much harder. I have been studing several books and sites. I know that everyone has a dif...

Hello. I have heard that not everyone gets a baby for their peds pt during CPNE. Is this true? Im not worried about getting a 5 yr old or older, but I am frightened about getting a baby!!! How often do students get babies???? If you have taken the CP...

If you know your mneumonics you should be fine! Good luck!

During my cpne I wrote the first letter and then filled in the rest. They give you a packet and it has blank pages to write your grid on. When it comes to timing yourself for practice at home, trust me it will be different during the cpne. I am very ...

MegRT, I didnt take a workshop and passed the cpne with no repeats. If you cant afford a workshop, like me, I suggest getting lyns lab dvd and Robs AOC dvd. They show you exactly what to do. I also used robs mneumonics. They are easier to remember.

Anyone care to share the proper technique to irrigate a catheter or NG tube? Never had to do it before and I am afraid I will be assigned this during my CPNE.

When I go into a pts room can I have my grid in my pocket and then pull it out before each assessment to refer to, then place in back in my pocket? I ask because I know I will have alot on my mind and looking at the grid before each assessment might ...

Thanks!!! This makes me feel better.

Hello everyone. I just had a few questions about the CPNE. First off does the CE assign you certain things to assess, for instance neuro, abdominal, comfort, and wound management. Or do you go in to a pts room and do a full head to toe assessment. Al...
