  1. 19th Edition study guide   So, I need to start right off the bat that I really, truly, did not feel at any point (before doing this CPNE) that I could do this and pass successfully, the first time. I am not that type of person at all to be consid...
  2. My CPNE success Journal from Albany Med June 21-23 2013

    Thank you! I can't believe it's almost been a year since I passed the CPNE! Hoping more and more people are just as successful!

    Thanks! I passed in October :)
  4. Getting close to FCCA & CPNE

    I would avoid reading the CPNE journals of people who didn't pass. It seems like all it did was bring me down and I felt hopeless. I passed my first try in Albany(read my journal on here) with a lot of preparation you can definitely pass the first ti...

    Know your critical elements without thinking about it. Practice the labs like it's going out of style. Write out grids and go slow! The workshop helped clear up some stuff but read the study guide before you go and start figuring out a plan of how to...

  8. CPNE and gloves

    At albany med they were s m l. You get time to try them on before you have to perform the skills.
  9. My CPNE success Journal from Albany Med June 21-23 2013

    Thanks! I appreciate it! I agree too. It's about doing the critical elements word for word by the study guide. I'm definitely glad it's over with! It's not easy, but it can be done. Proud to say I'm an RN now. I want to work on my BSN but I need a br...

  11. My CPNE success Journal from Albany Med June 21-23 2013

    I know how devastating that is! That's the one i failed the first time too. Review all of the job duties of each member of the interdisciplinary team. That helped me. Good luck don't beat yourself up
  12. My CPNE success Journal from Albany Med June 21-23 2013

    Thanks! There are a lot of typos and I wanted it to paint a better picture so people know what to expect. Workshops are definitely helpful. Good luck!
  13. My CPNE success Journal from Albany Med June 21-23 2013

    It is the study guide they give you to print out once you are CPNE eligible. It comes on a disk and I took mine to staples to be printed

  15. ANP vs Micro - Which to take first??

    I took a and p at a traditional school however I did take micro through EC. I thought I had failed for sure but passed with a B. I used the practice exams, recommended text, and the book microbiology demystified. I spent about a Month preparing for i...

  18. Could this be soooo....??

    Awesome!!
  19. My CPNE success Journal from Albany Med June 21-23 2013

    Thanks :) Work on one step at a time. Finish the FCCA classes and as soon as you can print that bible of a study guide. Start memorizing the critical elements. Then work on the labs and care plans. It is so overwhelming to try to do all of it at once...
  20. My CPNE success Journal from Albany Med June 21-23 2013

    If you know your stuff you will do fine. :) good luck!
  21. My CPNE success Journal from Albany Med June 21-23 2013

    Wisconsin is definitely closer for you then but if its a matter of waiting 3 months VS 5 the difference might be worth it. Are you pretty close to applying?

  23. Just passed my CPNE at albany med!!!

    It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on it. I did a ton of doubting! Good luck! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
  24. My CPNE success Journal from Albany Med June 21-23 2013

    I knew that albany had a quick turn around time from applying to getting a test date so I went with that. The drive sucked and crossing 2 boarders but it took us 9 hours or so each time. Where are you at in MI?
  25. My CPNE success Journal from Albany Med June 21-23 2013

    Thanks so much! I do also want to mention that I personally feel that the CPNE isn't about how long you have practiced as a nurse or medic or RT. It doesn't matter how old or young you are either. (I'm 25 and have only worked 3 years) What does matte...
