Excelsior college school of nursing CPNE examination is a scam. I am at my seven year enrollment and I just finished taking CPNE.

I don't understand how this program can expect their students to pass CPNE when they have their students waiting an average of 13 months to get a testing. In addition, they offer approved Excelsior College nursing workshop, no clinical practice, no clinical workshops (except of course in Albany once a month). The dean testing that she will not allow me to have the opportunity to do my Second or third retest(if necessary) because my enrollment(which she has a ready extended twice into month increments) expires December 31, 2016. Now, if it wasn't for their well-documented staffing issues(namely clinical examiners) and a waiting period of an average of 14 months, I would be able to have the opportunity retest.

In addition, the eight week nursing classes that they recently instituted can only be done one every eight weeks. (takes 2 years). I regret this program.

Now i have to find out if I even have a case. I feel this program was misleading with there lack of student preparation and 13 month waiting periods.

Reason of review: lack of clinical preparation workshops. extended wait period of CPNE testing 13 month average.delays were due to Lack of clinical examiners as per my clinical examiner (CE) and CA at CPNE.

Preferred solution: I would like to have the opportunity to take my 2nd and 3rd (retest if necessary) to do the CPNE again. In addition, 22nd edition cpne study guide will be in effect and I need time to Study the changes. .

Excelsior College Cons: Lack of clinical practice workshops, Fees, Not granting enrollment extensions that dont account for delays.

Location: Albany, New York

Wow! I feel really bad for you since you will basically only be allowed to take the CPNE once.

That is a lot of pressure but not impossible to pass. Best of luck!

File a claim with the Better Business Bureau concerning the extended wait and the constant re-enrollment fee. I received mine back due to the fact of waiting for over a year to test and having a request for two re-enrollment fees which I did not pay for the second one and I was returned the first one. I could have been through a conventional college at least twice with the time I spent with Excelsior ridiculous.
