thanks everyone for the comforting words!

yes, I totally believe the pregnancy brain fog had something to do with it! Lol! My husband thinks I'm crazy when I say being pregnant makes me dumber. But I think its true! I'm going to wait til after baby boy comes. I only have 12 weeks left. So in...

What was you wrongly failed for? Did you file a complaint? Did they let you take 2nd one free?

First timei failed because I didn't chart the skin was intact around o2 tubing. And my next I failed due to my eval part on my careplan...they didn't think my aeb part went with my pt. K...... welll now in my 2nd one I failed bc of nerves mostly..I m...

my first cpne wait was only 2 months total....I failed. Now my second wait will be 2 months also but not at my preferred site. That would have been a four month wait so I chose another location.

So nervous! Thanks everyone, you are all very supportive and I love your stories of your experiences! I know I can do this!!! :redbeathe:nurse: I will keep in touch after this horrid weekend is over! Probably wont hear from me until monday or tuesday...

I'm probably going to pay and sign up in the next week. And while I'm waiting for a date study careplans and keep memorizing all my mneumonics for my grid(actually I'll probably never forget those, they r ingrained in my head...lol) but I need to loo...

i went to lynn fredrick's workshop in north carolina. she is great. i learned a lot there. i just need more studying in the careplan area i guess.

You all are great here. My husband and family are supportive also which is great but I really felt like such a failure. I know this stuff like crazy! I dream about it!! But my bad point is careplans.not so good and that is what failed me once and the...

Failed......... nothing much else to say right now except that

Awesome post! My cpne is this weekend and I'm beyond freaked out! I know my stuff but I'm just so afraid of failing and having to pay 2grand again! I hope and pray I do well! I'm so happy for you and I hope I don't have ptsd like you did after though...

i went to lynn fredricks in north carolina! loved it! i highly recommend it! it was 370 dollars. look her up...shes under clinicalprepexam im not sure if im allowed to put the direct website though.

Starting to get ready to study for cpne and i was wondering where to start?!?! i'm starting to freak!! i was thinking of memorizing all critical elements for each area of care. And possibly sending a few care plans to excelsior to see if i've got the...

good luck! mines in a month and i am so nervous! i cant imagine how i'll feel when the time comes...probably will want to puke..lol!! but have faith, pray, and know you can do it!!!!!

we just got the money and i just signed up for cpne friday. dont know when i'll get to go but i chose mansfield. i'm still having trouble submitting my background check. it is a pdf file and can not be submitted in the cpne status area. i sent an ema...

i'd be intersted too depending on cost and date

i meant 7 grand...lol:lol2:

i wish i had found this website before signing with them. tcn made it sound as if they were the only way to buy books for excelsior and get in that college. yeah about 7000 grand down the toilet,,,makes me sick at my stomach.

i tried to use it last year as a school tax credit and my cpa said nope. stated like the above poster, that if it was eligable you would get a form from the school...maybe a 1099? sorry...we were duped by the tcn

im also wondering how long it took to get a date?
