ANCC or AANP Certification - (WhatGives) 06-02-11
OK, I'm sure this has been discussed before but I'm
looking for some more recent updates. I am completing an ANP program in May
and its time to decide what certification exam to take. Of
course the school is pushing the ANCC because that's what their ciriculum
is based on. I've heard th exam content is similar. What are the
advantages/disadvantages of one or the other. I know there's some
difference of how you sign credentials (APRN-BC versus ANP-C) but what
else? Thank you for you input.

Re: ANCC or AANP Certification - (anpfnpGNP) 06-02-11
I'm certified with both the ANCC (GNP & ANP) and
the AANP (FNP). For whatever reason, the top NP programs emphasize the
ANCC...it's supposed to be more "prestigious" and I can't tell you why. I
can tell you that I thought the ANCC exams were tougher, but I thought the
AANP exam was more clinically focused and I preferred it (not because I
considered it easier).
