WHAT TO EXPECT & TO LEARN 

One thing you can always expect is a quality workshop. Our 2 day workshop includes learning material for all of the required areas during the clinical weekend with Mock Practice.

1) A workshop teaching manual provided for you at the workshop

2) The Critical Elements teaching Video "Free"

3) "Free" month in the Online Care planning workshop with live discussion after your attendance at the workshop.

4) Theory and hands on training in all areas tested on at the CPNE.

5) Practice Simulation Homework with all of your paperwork individually graded for clarity and understanding.

6) Lab practice time (Manikins provided just like the one's used at the real CPNE)

7) Practice PCS to take home to send back later for evaluation.

8) There are other available proven products for purchase, should you have concern about weak areas.

9) All questions answered right up to the day before your CPNE.  (I am sorry; I can't speak to you during your clinical weekend. Excelsior College considers this unethical and they also deem it as cheating. I have been informed by the college anyone found to be discussing their test with anyone during the testing weekend will be in violation of the academic honesty policy and dismissed from the program! Don't risk your dream by doing this with anyone!)

10) When attending the workshop, we have several manikins that you may use to practice on.

"Hi Lynn, I just wanted to know that God has done it again!  I passed CPNE on the first try.  Your grid saved me so much time and I was able to organize my plan of care effectively.   I know that God being in your life is the reason for such an effective successful pass rate in your Clinical Prep.  Thank you being just the kind person that you are and that you truly reach back for others to help them cross the finish line. I will do the same.  I pray that God bless all that you do in Jesus name.    So many thanks to Lynn and Bev  from sunny South Florida."

At Clinical Prep Exam we do not stick to a rigid time schedule. There is ample time to cover all the needed learning material.  It is very important to us that during you workshop time, you are allowed to ask all the questions that are needed.  Your question maybe the very one that someone else just might need the answer to during the clinical exam. 

There is plenty of practice time over all areas being taught. I also, offer a great DVD for you to purchase and continue practicing with me in the privacy of your own surroundings!
