My job asked the nurses to get certified, so I did. I was the 1st one at my hospital that took the test. I took the CMSRN test and passed in Oct 2013, however, my job doesn't accept the medical-surgical board credentials. I was told I would have to take the test with the ANCC in order to be recognized and get $1200.00 dollars more a year. Very frustrated, these test are very expensive. I would have to pay $395.00 to take ANCC. I just want to tell other nurses out there make sure what your hospital requires before applying for the certification test.
