   jensfbay replied to amalay's topic in NP

   I am waiting to hear from one this week and will let you know. There are a couple of them in my area and are all reputable. I am an FNP student graduating in June. My plan B is if I don't get this residency, I will do a self-enroll with ThriveAP whil...

8. Undecided on which FNP Certification Exam to Take

   jensfbay replied to abva17's topic in NP

   ANCC. This is my reason: I was under the impression that you can continue to have your license or renew if you don't practice anymore with a BC (ANCC) certification. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. Because I can see myself teaching at the age...
