Proud of you, I just finished CPNE, clues, stay calm, make a grid to remember what you need to do, STAY CALM! Act confident and 3 check everything! I went to Madison, they were very kind, yet stern, I have EComp next week then I'm done too, I want to do BSN, they added more classes, looks like a money drain for what we know... Good Luck! I'll be rooting for you. Jacquie.

I was an LPN for 25 years. I went through Regents (now known as Excelsior) to get my RN. I graduated and passed boards in 2000. I thought it was an awesome, very doable program. I failed my first CPNE strictly due to nerves. Went back 32 days later, with Ativan, and passed with no repeats. It's not a hard test they just put so much emphasis on it.

LPN for three years and I wish I would have not taken a year off in between that and going for the two year RN. I am taking micro and phys this fall. I am on the "wait list" for the accelerated RN program for Spring '08. I hope, I hope, I hope I get in.

Hello to everyone. I have been an LPN for 4 years. I am currently waiting for my acceptance letter to an LPN-ASN here in west Tn. I am 26 years old and I am so excited. I passed my ACE pn-rn. Now it's just a waiting game. Good luck to everyone out there trying to pursue your dreams.

Hey, my name is Ramelle I'm 46 Iv'e been an LPN for 18 yrs. Most of my career has been LTC. The past 4 years in assisted living as a wellness nurse, healthcare coordinator and now as an ED. I love this area of care it's health care with twist of hopitality. it is challenging, yet very rewarding. I just starting working on pre-reqs and I'm looking forward to becoming an RN.

as an LPN we all know we can do the job but not having that piece of paper is no respect from others and much less pay. My hat is off to all who have gone through and made it. My hat is off to those of us who are going throgh and to those considering the challenge go for it.

Hi all! My name is Jolie and I've been an LPN for 2 1/2 years, working in LTC. I just enrolled in Excelsior College. Anxious to get started!!! There is limited positons for LPNs in the hospitals here, so I look forward to having many more opportunities as an RN. Good luck to everyone :)

Hello to all -- My name is Bethany and have been an LPN for 3yrs and have enrolled and begun my education through Excelsior College. I passed Micro this month with an A and am sooo... relieved to have all my prereqs out of the way!! I am starting NC6 and working backwards to NC3 because NC6 has a lot of Micro related info on it. Anyway I am working at an inpatient treatment facility for women who have Eating Disorders -primarily Anorexia and Bulemia. I live and work in AZ and love it much better that where I am from -near Rochester NY. Best Wishes to you all who are studying and working hard- IT WILL PAY OFF;)
