I Think I Messed Up =(
Like people have said before I would shop around to see if there are any programs available without those requirements. If not I would hope you'd use a few months of your G.I. bill as opposed to being homeless.

After stopping for balance finally CPNE bound
I would recommend printing out the pcs form and become familiar with what goes where. There were a couple of fails for people missing paperwork. I can only speak for the current study guide. I'm not familiar with the new one. I waited about 3 months to test. Being open to cancellations will drastically reduce wait time. Call constantly if you want to test earlier. Although I am finish with the program I am still waiting for EC to finish processing my graduation and should recieve my diploma with next month's cycle.

After stopping for balance finally CPNE bound
First i did a excelsior atudy guide read through making tabs for abything that seemed important. Then I started off studying care plans and mnemonics. I signed up for atl online workshop. With that I also got their study guide. The videos included a lot of careplan examples and their study guide had previously made mnemonics. I put the mnemonics on flash cards and whenever I was out i would practice them. At home I would watch careplan videos. Later I started practicing labs and full pcs. I spent 3 months in total studying but I would say study tIL you're comfortable and after that study some more. If possible I would have enjoyed more pcs practice.

My thoughts on the CPNE I just took
Yes there is some variability in terms of dealing with the CE and patient but it's your job to be completely prepared. You can't get gigged for doing everything perfect. Those theories (Quotas) are unfounded and probably made up by someone who couldn't take ownership for a fail. For some people it's a defense mechanism blame someone or something else for my fail. My two tips would be TRY to control your nerves as best you can. Also treat the exam like a job interview, show up first day professionally dressed to impress and conduct yourself as a healthcare professional.

Feel like I'm gonna
I will say that having done the exams recently the ones that were updated/changed recently were more difficult than the older ones and found less connection between practice exam and actual exam.

Has Excelsior figured out a way to improve CPNE wait time yet?
I came into it knowing the long wait time but am now hoping for a relatively short wait time. Have a deployment coming up and would like to be done with everything before then.
