ANCC or AANP Certification
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
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).
