the exams, when I took them, were at any testing center (pearson vue), and were multiple choice. the number varied but I think they were all 100+. I used studygroup101 and studied non stop. Study Guides

chances are everything I knew about excelsior has either changed or I've forgotten.

These are my mnemonics for the sim labs for the CPNE. they are longer than most as I wanted more steps included than I generally found in other mnemonics around. hope they help someone. MY CPNE mnemonics.doc

exam. whatever my library had. one was cliffs notes micro, don't remember the other.

I used studygroup101, the excelsior practice exams and a couple library books.

from what I'm reading, the school has nothing to do with it as long as you can get certified. http://www.floridasnursing.gov/licensing/advanced-registered-nurse-practitioner/ For Certification as a Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner, the requirem...

I know about 8 people who signed up with them and they all regret it. including the guy who gets it free because he got so many people to sign up. if you want it that bad just buy the binders off ebay. the only benefit I can think of to it is the rem...

I used the powerpoints from sg101, the excelsior practice exams and a couple books from my library. I basically studied the powerpoints from sg101 and practice exams and used the books to clear up parts I didn't understand.

based on what I see, you should get your light ready for pelvic exams, your hands ready for sutures, and your prescription pad filled out for zofran.

I don't recommend it due to the cpne.

sorry, some people refer to uni of san fran as usf. I was just curious as I am applying to the acnp program at usf tampa.

which USF?

I'm not sure what you mean about valencia or ucf. it's an a.s. in nursing from a regionally accredited college. the cpne is impossible unless you have examiners who don't know the study guide as well as they should and are willing to help to a certa...

I'm not in south florida, but neither is orlando so I guess I will answer. the tampa/lakeland area has openings as long as you have experience. otherwise there's not much. the few offers/interviews I received were for full-time positions. I was looki...

keep in mind that the classes are the least of your worries. the cpne monster at the end is what makes excelsior a bad choice imo.

I would also not recommend excelsior.

I used exactly what I stated above.

you can disagree all you want, but it gets results. 7 weeks for the nursing stuff, 2 for micro (which I did use other resources for). sg101 was lacking in the ls2 and ls3 content, but $58 for all the content is hard to beat. Completed Exams: [TABLE=w...

isn't it funny how something you will "never" do becomes a viable option after you think about it (and hit brick walls) enough? my whole life and career consists of things I would have "never" done. best of luck to you in your search.

many people don't used books at all. I recommend studygroup101 notes. Study Guides

the main thing I used for micro (and only thing I printed) was the powerpoints. I used the excelsior practice exams and this is the only class I used more material, which was a couple books from my local library to expound on points that were unclear...

I started reading this the day after the cpne and didn't stop until I tested. http://amzn.com/1437708250

I think you would shoot yourself if you had to go through nursing school. if you want to be independent that bad, look into lecom's pa to do. Accelerated Physician Assistant Pathway (APAP) : LECOM
