AANAC?


I was wondering if anyone here had insight to this organization? Good or Bad info, it doesn't matter.
I found it online and saw they have a MDS Certification program (RAC-CT) for those members that complete their program. Of course my question is: Is it worth it? Will jobs recognize that & take it into account when they hire me? Since I'm currently unemployed, and have extra time on my hands, I was thinking about checking into it, if it will be helpful to me. Thanks in advance for any information. Tara

I've had the AANAC certification for several years, and it's definitely worth it. The course is excellent, and their website is very useful. Our facility highlights the fact that all its RNACs are certified.
