I took Tina's workshop 7/1 - 7/5 and then flew to Syracuse on 7/6 to begin CPNE on 7/8. Tina's workshop was so helpful in
preparing me for CPNE. Her class is incredible and I went into the CPNE with confidence and calmness because I knew I
was well prepared. I passed the Labs on first attempt. They were easy after all the practice I got in Tina's class. I was able
to complete the critical elements in the CPS using the grid Tina taught us in class. I felt very organized and in control. I
am so grateful and thankful I found Tina's class before doing my CPNE. I just mailed off my State Borad application today.
OH HAPPY DAY!!!

Clinical  Workshop - Schedule of Activities
Mission Statement:    Continuing Health Education will strive to
help nursing students achieve their career goals by providing
guidance and instruction to pass the Clinical Exam.  The
Workshop will empower students by equipping them with the
pertinent knowledge and clinical skills to be successful in the
Clinical Exam.  Continuing Health Education will prove to be the
best comprehensive resource for clinical preparation on a
national level.

Please scroll down for details on scheduled activities for each
day.   
The Workshop is the most comprehensive preparation for your CPNE
examination.  You will be given an overview of what to expect during the
exam.  You will practice all the vitals and all drug calculations required to
pass the Clinical Exam.  You will be given a demonstration of all the lab
stations, and you will practice them every day during breaks and allotted
time during and after class.  You will also be given demonstration of all
areas of care and you will practice each and will also be tested on these
areas of care.  You will gain extensive information on all charting including
the care-planning and narrative notes.  All aspects of the exam will be
covered including fluid management, irrigations, specimen collection, etc.  
You will also practice PCSs.   

The class size is small so individualized attention is possible.  More
classes will be added to the schedule in order to accommodate students
as needed.  Enrollment of
a minimum of 8 students is required to
add a class.
 We have plenty of lab stations and will not enroll more than
we can accommodate .  You will not have to wait for lab stations and there
will be no crowding.  Our workshop provides an optimal environment for
learning.
