Lynn, I am so happy to let you know that I passed my CPNE last weekend in Racine. I am so thankful that I took your class and couldn't have passed without it. I can go on and on about how great your class was etc. but I really want to make one specific comment about your class. The foundation you build in your students is second to none. You have a special way of breaking things down into elements and reminding us to keep it simple. That gift helped me be successful. I am so thankful I found you and your class. Please let me know if you need a testimonial, and feel free to use this email as one too. Thank you again for everything!! It's finally over!!! Scott |

It was the worst and the best experience of my life. The CE's and CA were great. They do actually care if you pass or fail and they do want you to suceed. The stress and the waiting...if I hadn't passed I don't think I would have attempted it again. The over all out come of it all, made it worth the stressfull, horrible weekend. I would strongly advise any students just starting out go get your nursing degree the traditional way. For those of you too far in (like I was) to turn back now. It is possible, just be prepared and attend one of Lynn Fredrick's workshops before you go. Christy Chavez EMP-T, GN

Lynn, Thank you very much for the seminar and information from the Houston May weekend. The weekend was very tough but with yuor help, very doable. Had I not attended your seminar, I certainly would not have made it through. Of the seven who started it looks as if two successfully completed the weekend. Without your help adn prior to you seminar I did not even know where to start. Once again, thanks and God Bless ya'll. Chris Lambert |

Hello Lynn,
Status upsate from Brian Norton. I took your class in Dallas at the first of
this year. I passed my CPNE on the 1st try! I did only 3 PCS's and was home by
noon on Sunday! Your material was golden, I would have been lost without it! I
have already sent 2 people your way the next time you're in Dallas.
Thanks!
Brian Norton -- soon to be RN!
Hi everyone!
I just thought I'd let you all know that I passed this past weekend in
Amarillo with no repeats! Amarillo is a great site and the CEs and CA
were very encouraging and supportive. I tested with another past Lynn's
workshop attendee and he passed as well. I think the most important
thing is to know your critical elements and know what you need to
document for each AOC. Follow Lynn's advice for care planning and don't
make things too complicated. Anyway.....Good luck to everyone and thank you
to Lynn and Bev for all of your help!
Amy
P.S. the CPNE was not as bad as standing up in front of everyone to go
through a mock PCS! : ) Good experience, none the less!

I signed up for Lynns class at the urging of my husband. With gas prices so high, I couldnt afford a trip to CA.
My plan was to take the class and let Lynn guide my studying. When I went into the class, I felt that I had bitten off more than I could chew. I hadnt done patient care in 23 years and was totally unfamiliar with changes in IVs, meds and other nuances in patient care. I knew the 1985 rules, not the 2008 rules.
Lynns pre-class workbook outlined everything we needed to know. She included mnemonics that we had to know before class. When we started class, we found out what a kind and generous and funny and serious person she is. She took us through care planning, PCSs, documentation and labs. We practiced the labs if we wanted to. Her guidance in the wound packing helped me tremendously. I purchased her PCS workbook, care planning book and flash cards. I was the very lucky winner of her lab DVD. When I left her class, I had a feel for what was wanted and was thankful for this really good start. I just had to practice the principles and practice and practice.
I watched Lynns DVD and practiced in front of the TV while it was on. I broke down all the components because I was feeling way too overwhelmed with everything at once. I started with the labs, first week wound packing, second IV med, third IV push and 4th week IM/SC. I also re-read the study guide and outlined it.
Lynn and I emailed several times. She was encouraging as was her assistant/sister, Bev.
Passing this CPNE was the hardest thing I have done in a long time. The stress is only comparable to the power struggle I had with my ex-husband over our son. I won at both.
I could not have done this without Lynns assistance, superior materials and prayers. I heartily recommend Lynns class to everyone.

Lynn is exactly what you need to pass this test!"

"As a medic, I was very worried about what would be required for the CPNE. I went to 2 other workshops, paid outrageous amounts of money to travel and attend. Lynn, came to Houston and she was all I really needed! I was able to learn more from her in 2 days than the 5 day workshop I attended. I didn't need to waste time with wasted practice time and watching others. I wanted to practice in my own time. I used Lynn's DVD and practiced and went to her workshop. Spent less than half the money for her workshop, than what I spent on the others. And I didn't lose the time away from my job. If your looking for a good workshop, GO TO CLINICAL PREP EXAM!"

Answered every question, every email, was concerned for every worry, and every night of sleep I lost! She was there! I owe her so much! I had no support system through this entire program. Lynn opened her heart to me and she gave me knowledge and taught me what I needed to know and do to pass this exam on the first try! You can't begin to imagine how wonderful it was for me to pass this exam with NO Repeats! I followed only what she taught me to do! I called her on Thursday night to discuss some careplan questions and she worked with me and got me over my last minute nerves! I can't begin to tell you the blessing that this lady and her workshop is to the Excelsior college student! People around me said that I would never make it, that I couldn't do it, and that this exam was impossible. They wouldn't even try! With Lynn's help, I DID IT! I was able to do everything! I owe my success to her! Lynn, you are a gift from God! Keep doing what your doing! There are so many more who need you!"
I just want to
thank Lynn for her invaluable workshop. Because of your workshop, I
was able to go into this and feel confident that I knew what I was

Passed all my patients the first time. Lynn's workshop really
helped me to put everything into perspective so that this exam
wastn't so scary and overwhelming.
Lynn's workshop, math book, DVD, and careplan book were great tools to use and gave me everything I needed! I thank Lynn for being a great
teacher and giving me the support and great products to help guide me
on my way to success!
Thank you Lynn and fellow Detroit Workshop buddies, you can do it!

I have attended the workshop in Portland,Oregon. It was a wonderful experience. I felt I learned a lot in such a short time. |
Dear Lynn & Bev,
I want to thank you both for all your help you both gave me to prepare for
the CPNE. I don't know how you two
stay so organized and thoughtful towards others, like me
who are clueless, prior to getting a good outlook on what
the real CPNE is all about. You really lessened my fears
and anxiety level about going to the testing site. You 2 pea's in a pod make
this world a much better place to be.
I know how busy you are, so I'll close for now. I love your CD and workbook
and God Bless you for sharing your knowledge and extending your kindness.
With warm regards,
Vicki Heiter (attended Portland workshop)

I took everything that you
had said in your workshop and all the books, along with the lab DVD and the
flashcards and I studied that and studied it. I was the only one at
Meriter Hospital that weekend to pass. Not only did I pass but I passed
with no repeats. Two things ran through my head the entire weekend. One
was the hymn "Blessed Assurance," that had to have come from God because I
haven't heard that hymn in years, the other was hearing Lynn say, "Get in
and get out." Or something just like that! I am so glad that my CPNE is
over with! Thanks so much to both of you... Without you, I'm not sure I
would have made it. I believe that God lead me to choose your workshop
because He knew that was all that I needed!
God bless you both,
Jennifer Montgomery (soon to be RN!!!)
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I would not have passed without your workshop. It was worth every penny and then some. The mnemonics were right on and heaven sent, the grid was ideal and I appreciate what you are doing for all of us who attend your workshop. I met a people that had attended other workshops. We reviewed each others material, I am so glad to have been able to attend your workshop. It seemed as the other workshops had so much to memorize, it just seemed like information overload I guess. Not to say it wasn't good information, but yours is so condensed and contains exactly what they are looking for without all the fluff.
I wanted to thank you Bev for all you do to help these workshops run smoothly. I just attended in New Orleans and know you're the behind the scenes force that keeps everything running so well, so thank you.
