I passed the CPNE in Plano, TX. Sept. 5-7, 2008.
I did NOT take any workshops. I simply could not afford one. I started out solely
using my Excelsior Study Guide for CPNE, 14th edition. I read everything I could get
my hands on from EC students via the EPN, yahoo groups, or message boards. That
is where I read a post from Rob about how he passed his CPNE. I printed out that
jewel and got busy. I set up a mock situation. That post only had a couple of areas
of care and I was truly stumped when I tried to get past the ones he had described.
Even though I had most of the critical elements memorized, I couldn't get them to
“flow”, I was stuck till I read that Rob had made this video!
This video is priceless. Easily worth 10 times the purchase price. I was immediately
doing a “snoopy dance”, because THIS is what I needed. I needed a visualization,
from someone who had been there, not only once, but twice. A real student with real
experiences, with a “genuine” desire to help other people pass this CPNE! This is a
MUST HAVE study tool for anyone who is going to take this exam. A true blessing. I
will be posting this same review along with some tips on how I used this priceless tool
on EC's EPN for anyone doubting I am a real EC student.
Thank you, Rob. You are a blessing and I know I would not have been able to pass
without this instruction from you!

I am getting ready to take the cpne soon. I have bought all the materials offered. I
took one workshop and it was very helpful too! But when it came down to actually
putting all the details together and practicing, I bombed. I became very
discouraged. I had all the materials, flashcards, several different sets of numonics,
several grids. But I really felt like I could not do this. It all was so overwhelming.
After following and reading Rob's responses and contributions on a message board
for fellow cpners, I immediately printed his tips and suggestions off. He explained
things in a way that I understood. Then when it was suggested(jokingly of course)
about putting it on a DVD, I was so excited! Many of us encouraged Rob to do it. I
ordered it as soon as his website went up, and received it several days later.
Almost IMMEDIATELY, when I started watching it, I felt relief. The Calvary WAS
HERE!!!! As I watched it I actually started smiling....Rob explained EVERYTHING and
goes thru each Area of Care in a way that makes it stick to my brain!! I am so so so
(can I say that enough???) thankful for someone taking the time to make a dvd like
this. Rob, you are a blessing!!! Thank you for doing this. I am forever greatfull!!
FYI - I do not know Rob, have never met Rob.

Rob,
I passed my CPNE on Friday. I figured I had about a 80 percent chance of passing
after watching your video....I felt I had a 50/50 shot before that. You just never
know what is going to happen in the CPNE. One behind the scenes value that your
video adds is this: It instills confidence. A CE is going to be more apt to drop a hint
to someone who is confident and doing a good assessment, than someone who is
nervous and struggling. Your video enabled me to be confident and efficient. For
instance, in my 20 minute checks, I counted up the juice on the table and the CE
said to the patient, "I see you have a water pitcher, are you getting enough to
drink?" I had missed the pitcher and the CE dropped a hint to me. I think it was
because I was confident enough and showed I had good skills. The confidence factor
I gained from your methods were invaluable. It was this confidence that kept me
from being the weakest nurse in the group. I will sing the praises of your videos and
not just to students, but to coworkers. The RNs I work with in my hospital could
certainly benefit from your approach. The walking up the arm method is nothing
short of brilliant. I could not have passed my CPNE without your material; any student
studying for the CPNE would be absolute fool to overlook the value of your video and
mneumonics.

Hey Rob,
Thank you so much for everything. You came in at the last minutes with your video
and answers to my questions that just pulled everything together for me. I can not
tell you how much I appreciate all you have done for me and others.

I want to comment about Rob's video. It is the best money I have ever spent.
When I started studying for this wonderful, might I add lovely CPNE, I bought every
tool I could find. I even have an IV pole.LOL Whatever, anyway, I became familiar
with a poster on a certain cpne support website whose name was Rob. He gave great
tips and suggestions. He made me laugh in how he set up practice in a shed. I
actually laughed out loud as I read it.
His suggestions made sense, and.....stuck to me. I printed his stuff out. Then
something was said about making a dvd of the areas of care. So many people said
yes yes. Me included... So Rob took the time to make a video of areas of care.
Now, is it good???? Let me say this. I am a disorganized person. I try to be
organized. I do. I just didnt get that gene. I tried all sorts of ways to organize my
study, to get a routine. I spent more time shuffling papers, flashcards, rolling my IV
pole around, trying to get a plan. I got nowhere! So, when I received Rob's video, I
started watching it minutes after tearing the envelope open. Almost immediately, I
started smiling. Really really smiling. Like a big dope smiling.....my daughter was
like "helloooo Mooommmmmm, are you okayyyy???"
As I continued to ignore the kids and my husband peeking in on my smiling, and
watched the video(dvd), the weight that had been on me started to lift. I knew I
found the tool I needed to pass the cpne. He goes thru each area of care with a way
that I can understand, and do!!!!! He organized all the areas of care, all of what I
had been trying to organize.....It is wonderful.........and well worth 10 times what he
charges.
You will not be disappointed. It is wonderful!!!!!!! Best $40 ever spent.....
