Professional Development Certification

  • Guides

I took the ANCC exam for certification as a Nursing Professional Development Specialist yesterday (RN-BC). Whew! Easily the most difficult exam I have ever taken. Much harder than the NCLEX in my opinion. 175 questions may have something to do with that. Lots of questions with three potentially correct answers and a need to delve deeply into the question to notice what they were really asking. Pleased to say I passed though.

I took the prep course in person through ANPD and that was VERY helpful. I would recommend it highly. I waited 10 months after taking it to actually take my certification exam; I would recommend taking it right about when you are ready to test rather than waiting. A lot of good information given.

I also found some very helpful resources on Quizlet, which made for great review just prior.

I wasn't able to find much info about this exam on here when I looked, so thought I would post my experience for others to find.

    I recently took the NPD exam but did not pass. As I prepare to retake the exam, I am seeking advice on effective study strategies. Additionally, I would appreciate any recommendations for classes or resources that could help me improve my understanding, particularly with the abstract components of the exam.

    Having been an educator for just over two years, I find some aspects of the exam challenging. Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your assistance.
