NUR X299 - Clinical Performance in Nursing Examination

Institution:

Excelsior University

Subject:

Description:

Prerequisites: Students are eligible to schedule the CPNE when they have successfully completed 21 of the required 31 credits in general education, all eight nursing theory examinations, and two of the three required simulations of the FCCAsm. Students may not take the CPNE until all FCCA simulations are complete. In addition, a criminal background check report is required with submission of the CPNE application. See the CPNE Study Guide or our Web site for information about criminal background checks. The CPNE tests application of the nursing process and technical components of nursing practice in the care of adults and children in the acute care setting. Patients in these settings are experiencing potential, actual, and/or recurring health problems requiring maintenance and restorative interventions. The CPNE is organized around three phases of the nursing process: planning, implementation, and evaluation. The planning phase includes assessment and analysis of information necessary for identifying nursing diagnoses. Nursing interventions are based on accurate assessments of the patient's response to health problems. Care of the patient is designed to maintain, restore, alleviate, or rehabilitate, and is then evaluated for effectiveness. Critical thinking, diagnostic reasoning, use of knowledge from nursing and related disciplines, and standards of care are assessed in this examination.
