ANCC OR AANP

[34years]

I'm trying to decide which certification to take. I would like to know if one certification is better than the other. I have heard pro's and con's about both, any feedback would be appreciated

The only reason I took AANP was that I could take it quicker. I had a job waiting and needed to quickly get my license. Additionally, the ANCC offers rapid processing for an extra fee. So my plan was to go with AANP and if needed pay the extra fee to take ANCC as quickly as possible.
