by KimPN Dec 20, '12So after 2 months of job search as a floor LPN, I've failed to find one and decided to pursue another certification. Many people told me that it's good to have MDS certification, but I honestly don't know much about it. So far I've found out that AANAC provides an online course but how does this work? how long is it? and what does it mean by "this course cannot be used as an elective for either RAC-CT or C-NE certification."??

Dec 28, '12 by savoytruffleRAC-CT is the basic MDS cert that AANAC offers. I found it very very helpful and makes you worth much more, especially if you plan to stay in LTC and you work in a case mix state. You need the core curriculum and a few electives to meet the minimum courses to apply for certification. You cannot apply the same electives to two different certifications that the organization offers. I have been a member and certified for a few years and I really like them. They have great networking and resources online. I no longer work in MDS but I keep up my cert because I am still in a SNF. they have info on survey issues, regs, trends, and concerns for LTC. Once you take the courses, you have 90 days to pass all exams. Hope this helps
