ANCC vs AANP! WHICH IS BETTER? HOW TO CHOOSE | Fromcnatonp

Nurse Practitioners have to decide between two board certification after completing the NP program. The ANCC or AANP.
In todays video I am sharing my thoughts about both the ANCC and AANP and which one I choose to take and why. Ultimately the decision is personal for everyone which certification body to take, but what if any are the differences or similarities of these boards, and is one better than the other. I will be discussing it all in this video.

There is misconception of board certification with the BC (ANCC) vs C (AANP) credentials. Both are board certifications. I am board certified through AANP as well, and so I use C to identify my board certification. I too have heard of some taking both exams and as far as I know, there are no added benefits to holding certifications from both. There is, however, a benefit to having 2 options for board certification: AANP allows for 2 attempts in a 12 month period and ANCC 3. So you actually have 5 chances to obtain board certification, and can choose to test with the 2nd certifying body if you've met the limit for the other. Hope this helps all the new and future NP graduates! And please keep coming with the informative vids! I enjoy them!

Passing the AANP test is when you study hard, if you can't study or you don't have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself a help like Mr Riq

I don’t know if ANCC/AANP is Worth spending all my life time for because i have tried youtube l associates and some others and still failed 4 attempt. I feel so frustrated don't know what to do anymore don’t even have time for my own kids any more 💔💔💔😔😔.

Love your vids! I have been subscribed for awhile. I took the AANP only because I hate Select All That Apply and ANCC has tons of those types of questions as well as you have to click with the mouse "hotspots" that you are asked to identify like back in RN school. Also, ANCC is more research-focused and AANP is more clinical focused as you mentioned and since I practice in Family Primary Care, AANP is more relevant to my job. On the other hand, ANCC has a huge benefit regarding renewal time. You are not required to have documented hours worked to prove that you have been practicing (there is a certain number of hours you MUST work as an NP to quality to renew your FNP-C certificate. ANCC requires a research project for renewal. Why is this cool? This is awesome because you can't keep your FNP Cert after you retire but just submitting research and not having to work hours as an NP. I hope this makes sense.

Passing ANCC/AANP exams is easy when you study hard, if you can't study or you don’t have time for your studies I'd advise you get yourself a help like Mrs Cynthia

AANP is board certified as well, they just don’t use the ‘B’ to differentiate from ANCC’s designation.

[@shantaer.7339]

I actually did not know that there were two different certification bodies until this video. It sounds a lot like personal preference and which may fit one’s professional goals more in regards to which exam one takes. Thank you!

[@apocketofposey]

Current NP student. I have come across a handful of hospital job postings for NP positions that will state “ANCC credential preferred.” Again, only a handful though. I’ve read something about ANCC can look better for hospitals during recertification for Magnet status. But by far, most job postings don’t show any preference between the two credentials.

Congratulations on 1k subbs. We were so happy for you the other day. My boys and i.

[@fjbrown92]

I will probably take both, but am leaning towards ANCC exam. I think it’s important for the perception, as my area is saturated with NPs

[@ndcyril1]

I also took the AANP for the same reason. Didn’t feel like having to read about research but love the clinical component and since it was already mainly what we focused on in school anyways. No job also has ever asked if I’m BC or C. Don’t think it matters. I think is whichever you prefer. I also see people taking both exams too but that’s them. Why pay to stress my brain twice for the same outcome 🤷🏽‍♀️

I would like to be entered for the give away. So glad that you have hit 1k. Congratulations 🎉 and thank you for sharing great info with us always. I was part of your earliest subscribers. Also thanks for the insight on AANP and ANCC😊.

[@fullarmourC]

I preferred to take AANP but most employers in my city specifically ask for ANCC over AANP. So I will take my chances with the ANCC first; if that doesn't work out I will do AANP immediately afterwards. I have also been told that no one really cares which one you have but I didn't want to blackball myself with AANP when most employment ads specifically ask for ANCC. It's truly confusing.

[@RashetaCannon]

Enter me!!! (I'm currently not on social media). I am almost 1 years into my FNP program & I am planning on taking the AANP❤️

[@yyb7027]

I love your videos you are very honest

[@thesunnyedge]

Interesting, I didn’t even realize there was BC for ANCC and just C for AANP!

[@Ayanou13]

I would like to enter for the giveaway. I am graduating in August and I am still trying to decide which test to take. Congrats on the 1000 subbies

[@lissapemberton3675]

I've always believed AANP is not all about studying, you need God's grace to pass

[@robcrestoff]

Great to know! I’m currently a FNP DNP student. Great information. Please enter me, thanks!

[@tgoodman2076]

I want to be in the raffle however I don’t believe there is a difference (my opinion) as I am psych np and the only option is to take the ANCC however I often wonder why do FNP take both exams what is the benefit i could be wrong but I don’t see any jobs aren’t going to pay you more because you have two certifications are they? If you have some info on this please help me out
