AACN doesn't have one for ger, just aspects of critical care, at least that I saw. You want the ANA's site:

Yes, sorry that is what I meant. Obviously, I don't know much about it and am seeking to learn. Thanks!

Thanks for the website. The AACN is true to name as only for critical care nursing. The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) does have board certifications for areas other than critical care such as: ambulatory care, Nurse Informatics, and Nurse Executive, etc.
Here is the link for the ANCC board certification for Gerontological Nursing:2008-2009 Testing Information
eligibility criteria
> Hold a current, active RN license within a state or territory of the United States or the professional,
legally recognized equivalent in another country
> Have practiced the equivalent of two years full time as a registered nurse
> Have a minimum of 2,000 hours of clinical practice in gerontological nursing within the last three years
> Have completed 30 hours of continuing education in gerontological nursing within the last three years
In regards to study material: ANCC Review and Resource Manuals:luvnltr:
... Seems stupid to only certify BSNs.
100% with ya.
Went to the site ANCC site and noticed there's no mention of the BSN requirement.
The cert eligibility page also indicates it was updated August 2009.
Further, a call to the ANCC, referred me to their Internet site, with the comment that all applicable info is included there.
Accordingly, I'd venture to say a bachelor's is not necessary.
