Most hospitals are starting to require RNs to obtain their BSN. That's why I am starting the RN-BSN program next month.

I am looking into RN--BSN programs. Not sure who to go with.

I liked TCN, it condensed the material into one binder instead of having several different books. Also, if you still have books from LPN school you can use them as references. I did that with maternity section.

Good Luck, I took mine today. I got the good pop up box doing the PVT. Hope that's a great sign...seems to be for alot of people.

I highly recommend Sheri's online workshop. I used it and she made the careplans so easy. I passed CPNE last weekend at Mansfield, OH. :)

The ce's are the critical elements and the aoc is the area of care that they will assign youi. I passed CPNE last weekend at Mansfield, OH. The CE's (clinical examiners) and the CA (clinical assosciate) were super nice. They want you to pass and they...

I would call. I got my test date about a week after everything was approved.

I am doing Sheri's online workshop. The videos are great and you can watch them over and over for a month. It costs $147 per month and you can cancel whenever you want too. I only did it for a month. I think that was enough. The website is cpneworksh...

Believe me you will need those months to prepare. I've been preparing since Feburary and I'm taking my CPNE this month. It's alot of information to learn and pratice till you can do it in your sleep. Good Luck on your tests. :)

I'm testing there in May..I hope it goes good for me.:)

I am currently taking sheri's online workshop. Her careplan webinar is great. Im doing careplans within 10 mins. Ive done so many that Im getting them memorized. LOL...

Good Luck...You CAN do this!!!!

It costs $147 a month so I started on it last week and it will be 6 weeks before my clinical date. Im just doing it for one month. One month should be enough cause the videos will be the same no matter how many months you are enrolled. Wanted time to...

I highly recommend sheri"s workshop. That is what I am currently doing now cause I can't afford to go to a workshop.

I am doing my CPNE in 7 weeks..YIKES!!!!!! I am planning on doing an online workshop through Sheri Taylor cause I can't afford to do a hands on workshop. Practice, practice, practice and a whole lot of praying!!!

I turned it in as the cost of books..which that is what they are.

Do you have a Mosby's Nursing Diagnosis book? It has everything you need in it. If you don't have one you can buy one at Barnes and Noble for $35, thats where I bought mine.

Congrats!!!!! LS2 is a KILLER

Thanks for all your information. It's great. Im studying for CPNE now. Debbie

I passed LS2 only by the grace of God!!! It was extremly hard!!!! Was praying the whole time. Now onto my last nursing exam LS3. Will be glad when this is all done!!!!

Im testing in Mansfield in May...does anyone know if there is peds pts there?

Sweattart, Thanks for posting that. I can't afford a workshop. Me and a friend are studying together and we are requeting to go to same site/same weekend. She has set up a lab station and a dummy for us to practice. We get together every saturday. Ha...

Congrats and well to FCCA/CPNE group. Suppose to be getting my FCCA info today.

I took it last month. I called and asked for Ann Gardner. She is in charge of the information. Maybe this will help you. The cost is $115.95 and they mail the transcript to excelsior.

I would not recommend studying that way, you are going to need to know alot of info for the NCLEX. Hope you study harder for the NCLEX.
