Online programs are also available to assist students in learning the necessary competencies. The student will have two hours to complete each component of the FCCA. Each two-hour time frame includes a 10-minute tutorial. Students are able to complete components in any order. An online tutorial via our Learning Management System is available at no additional charge to familiarize students with the computer interface used during the FCCA. Students are advised to complete the tutorial in preparation for the FCCA because the appearance of computer screens is very different from what is seen during computer-based theory examinations. The FCCA is not available in paper and pencil format.

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.
