  3. Workshop: earlier vs. later?

    NPAC also, applied to every site but Queens (even though that is the closest too me, lol). I've never heard of Tara in PA, what is the web
  4. Submitted CPNE documents, now what!

    Oh bummer! I left a message and am waiting for a call back. I bet that is what they will tell me too. Although as much as I want to get this over with, I secretly am hoping the date is farther away...

  11. CPNE study plan

    Yeah I wish I could take a workshop now, but it's just too expensive and not convenient. I'm lucky I can afford the one workshop I'm going to take!! Thanks for all the

  14. FCCA Bound :)

    I took my last exam 3/2 and received the booklet on 3/10 (I called as soon as I got the message from them). Just put it in the mail today to go back so it wasn't even close to a
  15. Wow, that's pretty amazing!!! I thought I was moving fast, LOL! How did you prepare for the CPNE in such a short amount of time? I'm nervous I won't be read in 3 months and I'll only be studying for...
  16. I think 6 months is almost impossible. I finished all my nursing exams (8) in 6 months and I still have to take the CPNE which has a 4-6 month wait. I hope to be done with the program within a year...

    Thanks for the quick advice! And you're right, the best motivator for me is a deadline so I think I will say my ready date will be July 1 and hope for the best. On the list of NPAC sites Chambersburg...
  23. I'm not a huge fan of the Lisa Arends notes. Just stick to the content guide, I used the internet a lot with this exam too because it's a lot of history so just punch a name into Wickipedia and you...

    Thanks everyone!! princess1125- I will be taking the CPNE somewhere in the NPAC. Still haven't decided where yet or if I will pick any site. I'm leaning towards Utica or York just because I am used to...
  25. PASSED Transitions, now what?
