1. Recertification of dual NP board certification - FNP and ACNP

   Suite1022 replied to Suite1022's topic in NP

   Jen - I had not considered certification through AANP. When I graduated, our program coordinator directed us to ANCC and I did not ask any questions. I think that was the certifying body that offered board certification for ACNPs. I don't know if tha...

   Oh wow, that sounds intense. I hear working with the VA has great benefits. :) Good luck to you!

   Lubbock - That's good to know. I wasn't sure how rigid they would be. I've not yet had to renew my board certification as I'm a relatively new NP. In what area do you work? Do you see primary and acute issues?

   Suite1022 replied to Suite1022's topic in NP

   Thank you Witness. :) I am a bit intimidated by the 2000 hours as well, but they can be spread out over five years. And at least if the recertification dates coincide, you only have to complete 150 continuing education hours. Very complicated though,...

   Here is the final response from the ANCC: "1. Given the fact that ERs and Urgent Cares see both acutely ill patients and primary care patients, would working in this area fulfill the requirement for both the 1000 hrs of primary care and 1000 hours o...

   Ok, so I received some information from the the ANCC in regards to my question about renewal for dual certifications. Here is the response: "Jenifer, you will be holding certifications for 2 distinct populations, therefore you will need 1,000 hours i...

   Suite1022 replied to Suite1022's topic in NP

   I am not exclusively interested in acute care/trauma. It's just that my roots are in ER and I am fascinated by trauma. I am also interested in the primary care aspect. I figure now that I've made the decision to go back to school, I want to soak up a...

   Suite1022 replied to Suite1022's topic in NP

   Lubbock - Thank you! That's good news :) What about the 2000 practice hours? Do you have to have 4000? Or will 2000 suffice for both certs? Witness - There were actually quite a few places for post-master's FNP and ACNP. I didn't find it difficult. ...

9. Recertification of dual NP board certification - FNP and ACNP

   Suite1022 replied to Suite1022's topic in NP

   I had a hard time deciding between FNP and ACNP as well. I loved ICU, ED, and trauma, and wanted all the critical care, acute-setting knowledge of ACNP, but I knew FNP was more marketable and would give me greater options down the road. Ultimately, I...

    Hi, I'm currently board certified as an ACNP through ANCC. I am looking to get a post-master's cert as an FNP. Can anyone tell me what the requirements are to recertify when you hold dual-certification? Do all of the requirements (practice hours, con...
