I have been doing some dummy practices. The nurses at the hospital where I work are going to pitch in and try to set up a bunch of dummy stations every evening after we clock out next week. It's the care plan and documentation that I'm most anxious about. I haven't done a care plan that wasn't preprinted in 20 years!!! And I didn't like making them then. Lol

My CPNE is scheduled the 1st of March in Madison, WI. After being an LPN for 20 years and working on the Excelsior Program off and on for the last ten years, I could not be more nervous and scared. But I'm studying and putting in the time and effort necessary. Put my mind is fully open to suggestions if anyone has a few good ones they would like to share. After 20 years of having to get RNs to help with my patients needs, it sure would be nice to be able to hang a unit of blood by summer time!!!!

Congratulations to you. I'm going to Madison in less than two weeks for my CPNE. I've been a LPN for about 20 years and the last ten of it I've been working on my bridge to RN through Excelsior. There are few things I've ever wanted personally and professionally the way I want this. I don't think I was this nervous on my wedding day!!! I'm scared to death. Any major pointers?
