Call the ANCC..american nurses credentialing center..or look on line. They have a certification in gerontological nursing. I'm not sure, but I think you now need a bachelor's degree to sit for the test. I got certified in 1999...out of all the nurses in the US, only 600 are certified in gerontological nursing.
