When do you pay for the CPNE?

Published

I am trying to budget for this program and I need to know when you have to pay for the CPNE? Did most people use the pay your way enrollment option and then take the remaining exams (not including health safety or health differences)?

You cannot pay for the CPNE until your eligable. That means taken all the Nursing Test(except for FCCA at this time). You also need to be 10 or less credits away from completing your prerequsites before they will allow you to pay for the CPNE. I just paid it on my credit card. It was alot to gulp at the time but I passed and it was all worth it in the end.

I know, but I have to prepare in advance because my hubby is the only working person. But, from your post I will gather that after all of my test are done then I can pay for the cpne, right?

Yes, Once your test are done they will update your status and allow you to pay. They don't offer many ways to pay for it but if your strapped for cash, I would do the payment plan.

But just be aware that you can not get a date to test until it is paid for in full.

I think you can get a date but it has to be paid like a month before you go.

Yeah. I think that is the case. At any rate, you can't take the CPNE until paid for.
