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

[@Lil1219Mama]

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!

[@fromcnatonp]

Thanks for watching! having both certification is not necessary, but I do know some who take both exams, yes the misconception is definitely that AANP is not broad certified because we only use C, Thanks for your input.

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

[@lilanbolt6972]

I've always believed NP exam is not for all but studying, you need God's grace especially for we foreign nurses

[@alexjandravanessa985]

People keep talking about Riq all over Y0uTube, he must be a very awesome help

[@margaretnewman5447]

@@lilanbolt6972 Yes you're correct but remember heaven helps those who help themselves, try studying if you can't study then get yourself a good help

I studied for months and couldn't pass, I guess passing is a blessing

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.

[@fromcnatonp]

Thanks for that, I had no idea about all that with the ANCC. I literally was like no way am I gonna study anything about research I hated nursing research when I did my BSN. The fact that you can only do a research project for recertification is definitely a benefit for recertification. Thanks so much for watching and subscribing I appreciate that.

[@johnmaco8964]

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 💔💔💔😔😔.

[@chacha9600]

Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success

[@chichi4387]

I’ll keep on studying till i pass no matter how many times i fail, I’ll advise you don’t give up because we all have come a long way so keep try till you get there one day or better still go get help from Mrs Amelia

[@joycealice2793]

Wow so sorry you failed, i have heard so much about Amelia but I don't actually have her info

[@merlinlas9693]

I paid her and she requested for my registration name which i sent to her, after 4 days she sent me my questions and answers i was shocked to see same questions appear before me on my exam day

[@jessicamary6009]

Wow she's a genius

[@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! Also “Enter.” Mi love free tingz too but I do also love your videos 😂❤️

[@nursesteffy]

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

[@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

[@fromcnatonp]

ANCC is definitely more for perception I totally agree. Good luck!

[@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.

[@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.

[@fromcnatonp]

WOW Really! what city is that? Well if that is the case you have to do the certification board that will get you the job in your city. Good luck to you

[@fullarmourC]

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 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@fromcnatonp]

Thanks for watching! such a waste of money to take both and like you say the stress, no way I was gonna do that.

[@urgentcaredr]

What NP program did you go to?

[@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

[@fromcnatonp]

Thanks for watching! I did enter you in the giveaway, but by random draw someone else won. I didn't know that psych can only take ANCC, I do not think its necessary to take both exam just my opinion, like you say the jobs are not offering more money if you have one certification over the other so just a waste of money. I do know some who sign up for both just incase they fail one they go take the other, I have seen that. Good luck!
