workshop

Published

I'm leaving tomorrow to attend PA Tina's workshop. I'm excited, but also scared like it's the test weekend. How freaky am I being? lol This cpne crap is stressing me to the max. My family is counting down the days. Can't wait to get busy reinforcing my knowledge for the next few days.

rttobern,

Good Luck on your workshop. I am looking forward to doing the same in a few months but can't decide which workshop to take. Tina's looks great but looks like she only has them in California. You posted it as PA Tina's workshop. What does the PA stand for?

Also, How long in advance should I sign up for a workshop? Does it take a while to get a date. Thanks for your help.

I will be attending EC's workshop next month. I CAN NOT afford to do this twice. Best to you all.

Home now. That workshop is amazing. I loved it!! and Tina is awesome. She's really into making sure we have the knowledge necessary to pass the CPNE. It is very intensive, which I think is great, 'cause I can't imagine getting prepared without the work. I can't say enough positive things about her and her workshop.

LOL Lunah, I definitely mentioned you.

I'm going to go do my homework now, don't want to lose the momentum she has set.

I read your previous post, you test in September. Yes, you really need to do your homework one month left to go. Did you do EC's workshop?

No, it was too much money. If you look at PA Tina's itinerary, you see how intense and involved her's is vs. others. And yes, we really did go to 11ish every night. Even the last night.

LOL I don't think I'd ever be able to say studying is happy. But I'm happy to give what little helpful info. I have.

Wow, your group was hardcore! We bailed and went for beer/food at TGIF's at 9:30p on the last night. :D So glad you enjoyed it! We were so crispy-fried by that last day, but in a good way. And all four of us passed our CPNEs on our first attempts, too.

I was soooooooo fried by that last night. I stayed over and slept 'til 10 the next morning which was Sunday and still had to be awakened by the alarm. Then the 3.5 hour drive home was just mnemonics over and over in my head, with an occasional song or 2 from the radio. Got home and sent in Tina's Sunday night case study. LOL Friday night was the worst. I was scared and tired and beaten down. Tina said Saturday would build me back up. She was right, but I sooo didn't believe her.
