First of all congratulations. Thank you so much for sharing. I wasn't really that worried about the whole thing until I started reading all of the horrible things online. I have started all of the online conferences, and then I will be going to the workshop in albany at the end of March. Thank you for taking the time to share your story. It just made me feel better to hear what you had to say about your experience.

Thats what i was told also , but i was given a CPNE date within 4 months of completing course work. And you will need that time to prepare for the CPNE anyhow

Thanks for sharing, i wrote a question reguarding Abany this morning. I have found a lot of negative complaits re: the CPNE and it was starting to really make me anxious about the whole thing. congrats and thanks for this

I have been working in Hospitals for the past 8 years. This is nothing to beat yourself up over. whenever i make an error/ misjudgement ect... it will stay with me, and it helps you in the future to not let yourself put it aside. When your still in nursing clinicals there is a lot of pressure .. with the instructor and paperwork. once you beging to work in a hospital then things are different. you find your own flow of how your days will go, you wont worry about little things like getting the papers work done to give to the instructor, in the real world if the paper work is not done by the end of your shift , then when your shift is done you go sit down in the back and finish it. No big deal. I have made some errors in my time and they were much more serious (meds) I never thought that this kind of thing would happen to me because i try to be careful. But it does happen, and it happens to all nurses at some point. you get through it by ....facing that you made an error, and own up to it , learn from it. one thing i have seen is nurses lying to managers about making errors , and that resulted in them losing there jobs. So never lye about a situation. because i have had my fair share and i am still here. good luck , you will be fine.

I am scheduled to take cpne in Albany, NY. I have been a nurse for the past 5 years. I wasn't too worried until i started searching for info on-line about the CPNE. I mostly find a lot of negative and scarry feedback. People failing for the smallest errors. This has made me so stressed that i went ahead and signed up for the workshop in Albany , i will be doing the workshop 3 weeks before the CPNE. Does anyine have anything helpful, positive to say about this??
