I have a question.... I was just informed that even though I just hired into a hospitalist group as an Adult NP, I will have to "jump the hoop" in a few years and have to go BACK to school to get my Acute Care NP certification to continue working in an acute care setting! No one ever told me this, and the Hospitalist Group who hired me KNEW I was an ANP. Their only request was that I be certified through ANCC, not AANP. I live in Ohio. Has anyone else heard this, or am I just not up to date? Thanks! Barb
