Lifelong learning is the ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons. If this describes you, becoming a TNCPE Examiner is a great way to fulfill your personal pursuit of knowledge and equally as important, cultivate a growth mindset..

 

– Ocpivia Stafford, Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare –

Being an examiner with TNCPE is one of the best things I’ve done – for my career, for my personal life. It definitely opens up your mind to continuous improvement. I learned so much. There’s so many resources with TNCPE. It’s not just being an examiner for that one time, it is everything else that is involved..

 

– Leslie Blevins, Bristol Tennessee Essential Services –

Having been an examiner for the last two years, it’s a journey in itself. I’m still learning. I’m still getting ‘A-ha!’ moments… But I think it’s such a professional growth opportunity that I can’t imagine anyone not wanting to do it.
