Re: Psychiatric-Mental Health Certification
I have taken (and passed) the exam. I thought it was worse than the nursing board exam. IMO they ask many questions that are outside the scope of practice of an RN (questions about steps to be taken in behavioral therapy and so forth).
I am curious about your motivation for taking the exam. I took it for professional satisfaction and potential advancement. I found that most employers don't care about certification, and they do not pay for the test or give additional salary for it. I found ANCC certification to be of no value professionally, and I did not renew at expiration time.
