Hey everyone!! Just checking in to see what every one is up to!! I started this program March 31, 2011 and I am currently getting ready to take LS2 in a couple of weeks. Just LS3 to go and then FCCA and CPNE!! Time sure does fly!!! Any one at the sam...

Wow that's pretty nervy to come on to the Excelsior college website and say that it isn't a real school. If you aren't considering Excelsior, why are you lurking on this page? I graduated from Excelsior and guess what - I am a REAL nurse with a REAL ...

Wanted to let you all know that I survived the CPNE!! Attached is my journal of the weekend. Hope it helps someone. Cindy Weekend at Grady.docx

Yay!! I finally got my date for the CPNE. I sent my paperwork in in November and it got accepted the beginning of December. It has taken almost three months to get a date but I finally got it!!! April 13th through the 15th in Grady Memorial in Atlant...

Hey!! That is great!! Did you take any workshops? I am taking Sherri Taylor's online workshop. She also offers a mock checkoff the day before the clinical exam so I will be attending that on Thursday. Are you staying at Excelsior's recommended hotel ...

Congrats!!! I'm testing at Grady on April 13th - 15th. I was originally given your date but then she had to change it. Said it was overbooked. Good luck to you!! I'm so nervous!! Been studying, studying, studying!! Take care!!!

Thank you!! Good luck to you too!! What are you using to study? I'm doing Sherri's online workshop and of course the study guide. I've also ordered the wound and the clinical skills kit to practice on. My bedroom has been turned into a hospital room!...

I'm planning on doing both of them to get a couple of different opinions!! I'm doing Sherri's right now and it is great. When that one expires I'm going to take Tina's 6 week online one. I figure it can't hurt to get more than one perspective. I thin...

I started on march 30th of last year and I should be getting my cpne date march or april of this year. I took one test a month and I had all of my prerequisites complete before I started. Good luck!!! You can do this!!!

well I hope it's not "off a little bit" because I just signed up for her online workshop!! So far I really like it and I have heard that Sheri is the "careplan queen"!! Good luck!!

Hi NurseMae, I have recently finished up all of the tests and am waiting for my CPNE date. :) I am also an LPN. I ordered all of the recommended books one edition back so they were much less expensive. Got them all on amazon for less than $200. I rea...

I am just starting to study for CPNE. I still don't have my date but they said sometime March or April. I just want to get a date so I know when!!! I have read the study guide from cover to cover twice and just signed up for Sheri Taylor's online wor...

Hey Tasha!! Congrats on getting your date. Where are you testing? I am still waiting to get my date. I called and they said it should be March or April and hopefully I will know in the next 2 weeks. Good Luck!!

I think I might take Sherri's workshop in January. I'm waiting for my CPNE date, which I hope will be in the middle of March.

I just took the first practice exam for LS2 and got a 46!! This is by far the lowest score I have received so far on any of the practice exams. I usually get somewhere in the 60s on them. I have a lot of studying to do for this test!! I am using Ment...

Blakey - I knew you could do it!!!! Congrats!!!

Hi all, I am waiting for my FCCA to get here. Should be here end of this month. Then it's all about studying for CPNE. Getting ready to send of application for that. I was told 3-5 month wait for SPAC. So, maybe some time around March I'll be taking ...

The LS exams are similar to the practice exams so they are definitely worth the $$. I used studygroup 101, Saunders and the med surg book. I think the most helpful was just to read through the med surg book and make sure you know most of the material...

Hi!! I just passed LS3 last week and now I am submitting paperwork for FCCA and CPNE. Very nervous but excited also!!! I can't believe it's almost here!! So much is riding on this!! I really only want to take this test once!! I think I am going to do...

Congrats!! I took it today too and passed with a B also!! I'm waiting for them to let me know I'm eligible for FCCA now!! Let me know if you need a study buddy. We're about on the same page!!!

Ok!! Passed LS3 this morning with a B!! That one was a little rough!! LOL But it's done and over with! Now I guess I just wait for them to contact me and let me know I am FCCA and CPNE eligible?? Good luck to every one studying. I guess I'm gonna get...

Luv5Cats!! Congrats!! I am taking LS3 in the morning. I'm a little nervous about this one. All of the neuro stuff!!! Anyway, keep on trucking on!!!

WOOO HOOOO!!!!! I am planning on taking LS3 at the end of the month. What did you use to study? Was it as bad as every one says it is? I have studygroup101 notes but they don't seem to correlate very well with the content guide for this exam. I'm rea...

:yeah:Congratulations Rob!! I just took LS2 last week and passed. Onward to LS3 and then FCCA and CPNE!! We're almost there. I can see the finish line. I'm planning on taking LS3 the end of October. Looks like we're about on the same track!! Anyway, ...

I just started studying for LS3 too. I have the studygroup101 notes but I think the reason the website says it's expired is because it's not really applicable any longer. The SG101 notes have info on STDs and that was all covered in reproduction. I t...
