Anyone taken National Healthcare Disaster Certification?

Published

Has anyone taken the new certification, National Healthcare Disaster. I'm registered to take the test in July but can't find any study guides on it. Looking for some info from who may have taken or are studying for it.

If you haven't done so, you might visit the American Nurses Credentialing Center's National Healthcare Disaster Certification page. The Test Reference List link at the bottom of the page provides a lost of resource material.

Good luck on the exam.

I am looking for some as well.

Not yet. There are some questions on Quizlet but they are not reliable. The ANCC site only has a small sample test and references many things to review. Hundreds of pages of information to cover. Other certifications have so many more sample test questions. I'm just going to go ahead and take it and then I'll at least have an idea of what is on it and will have to retest. What an attitude, huh?

How did your test go? I am testing next week and would love to know if the materials you found helped.

Thank you!

Me too! I'm scheduled next month. I see ANCC has online review materials for $250. Wondering if the price is worth it. The sample questions seem easy, but looking for some materials versus the books on the reference list. There is one guide on Amazon, but horrible reviews.

I just recently took this exam and passed.

For anyone who needs it, ANCC now has a review class online. It was helpful but you do have to pay for it.

It says you need weeks to do it and they give you 19 continuing education hours but I took the online class in one night.

I definitely needed other disaster knowledge I have accumulated from various trainings and such, in order to pass certification exam. I also looked through many of the references listed for the test and reviewed some info from the FEMA classes they require.

The Exam Edge practice tests for this are a waste of time and money, believe all the bad reviews and save your money.

Good luck :)

I also just took and passed this exam. I studied with the outline provided on the ANCC page and reviewed the long list of references they provided. I found the reference list very helpful. 

I did not buy any other exam tools even though there is an interactive review class on the ANCC website, but it's about the same cost as the exam.
