Using more than one online CPNE workshop.

[PaParamedic]

OK, with still only four weeks left I feel lost, but confident I can get completely ready for the CPNE. I do not have the time to travel to a workshop so decided to do online version. I have come down to two, Rob's and Sherri's. I have read the reviews and found information on the strengths with both, just now leaving me with a couple of questions. Please only those who used their services respond.

1. If you could only take one, which would be most complete?

2. If you took both, did each compliment each other, or created conflicts in how they presented information and confusion?

Thank you,

I took both. Rob's helped with the labs and PCS's but not with the CP's. I also did Sherri's online class. Sherri's helped me more with the CP's. The video's she had were also helpful. If you feel that CP's are your weak point then I would also check out Christy's no sweat bootcamp. She gives you 12 CP's in 12 days and will return them within 24 hours. Since you only have 4 weeks to test hers may give you the most bang for your buck. Robs was good but I feel that I wouldn't have passed using only his DVD; but I would have passed using only Sherri. (I hope that makes sense).

Robs works best if you have more time, 4 weeks could be enough, but for me it would have been too much. Seems he said 8 weeks was the minimum, 12 was best.

His plan works on repetition and just burning it into your brain. I did Robs "live" care plan class (it is a recorded video on his site now, I was an active participant). I helped me understand what Excelsior wanted. I did not write any practice care plans to Excelsior. While I did not do great (the CA had me re-write one of my careplans) I did pass. I wish I had spent a little more time on the care plan portion, but I was able to do it with just robs stuff.
