I have been out of school for 9yrs was initially certified by AANP as FNP, but let that certification lapse (starting family, taking care of children, etc). I'm now ready to begin practice, but I have to retest to become certified again. Any advice on refresher courses, course of action, etc. Anyone else have this same experience. I have been working as a RN during part of that time, so I'm not totally out of the healthcare loop, but I do need updating. Was considering a Fitzgerald course (they don't offer a refresher, just the exam prep course). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
