So I will be able to sit for my liscensure wth a post graduate certificate program

I've been looking through the Dual FNP/ACNP programs and there at only a few out there out of state which can be problematic. If I were to do FNP then an acnp credential after, would it be sufficient for work in the ICU as an NP? How long are these programs usually? I'm trying to google search it but I might be searching the wrong terms so I'm not coming up with what I need. What is the name of the credential? I've been googling ACNP credential

My name is Anthony and I am currently working in a Cardiac Thoracic ICU in Chicago. I want to become an FNP who works in an ICU setting. When I'm older, I hope to work in an outpatient setting (something more chill). I understand that FNPs aren't suppose to work inpatient let alone ICU. Is there a certification that allows FNPs to work ICU/ER/Inpatient? I read there is a certification called the Acute care nurse practitioner certification that will allow FNPs to work in ICU settings. Is this true? and how long are these types of certifications.
