- Are you confused about which certification exam to take? YOU ARE NOT ALONE. In this video I will lay out the differences between the two exams, point out which one may be better for you based on your preferences, and provide some helpful tips for picking your exam! This mainly pertains to FNP and AGNP students, as other specialties do not have to choose an exam.
If you have taken the exam, or have other insight, please let me know! I'd love to hear about your experience as I get ready to take my boards this spring!

Which exam are you planning on taking? If you’ve passed, which did you take and what tips do you have for success?!
It seems that the ANCC option would benefit for future retirement from clinical practice. 🤔 Thanks for explaining. I took the AANP and passed. Previously I couldn't imagine taking both.. but since watching your video I may consider taking the AANC and keeping both certifications.
I used Fitzgerald (online workshop) and passed the ANCC for FNP. I also used the Leik review book. My tip is give yourself a deadline (SMART goals, right?), create a study schedule, hone in on your weaknesses (mine were psych drugs, geriatric pharmacokinetics, and infant milestones), and review your school notes. Best of luck on your Boards everyone 😊
Nice video, I finally passed my AANP exam Thank God for Marcus who helped me
Please does anyone know who Marcus is? I really need to get to him 😔
How can I get to this particular man?
I got him on

Obviously Passing the AANP &ANCC is when you study hard, if you can’t study or you don't have time for your studies l'd advise you get yourself a help like Mr Dylan
At times it doesn’t matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success..
I have a cousin who never studied much, we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than studies after writing the AANP test last month she passed and I failed 😣, I asked her how she did it , just found out she got her help from Mr Dylan.
People keep talking about Dylan,he must be an awesome help.
Please does anyone know who this Mr Dylan is ? I really need to speak with him I’m frustrated..
wow so sorry you failed , I have heard so much about Dylan but I don’t actually have his info
great information, thanks! Because of this well-explained and very detailed information, I've decided to do the ANCC. I want to have the option to teach full time with possible minimal or no clinical work at the age of 70 or so (lol). I also prefer the letters BC after my fnp, haha. Thanks Liz!
Liz, you are INCREDIBLE! Thank you!
Recently passed ANCC-FNP. It wasn't easy but the drag & drop, SATA, pics, matching & non-clinical qstns breaks the monotony of answering ALL clinical qstns..which is GREAT if ADPIE isn't a major strength of yours. My years of experience as both a Family Practice & Internal Medicine RN & RN Mgr prepped me for answering Peds, OB, leadership & mgmt type qstns..especially the immunizations, vaccinations & Erikson's stages of G&D qstns. IMHO..I can see RNs with inpatient, ER, psych or LTC experience having difficulty with both exams, as pt care in those areas are totally different from Family Practice. Choose exams wisely based on your strengths..if you're clinical, can differentiate Outpt vs Inpt standards of care, & prefer ALL 150 multiple choice qstns..do AANP. If u know Outpt ADPIE is a struggle for u, do ANCC where you're tested on research, mgmt, leadership, & 175 qstns includes pics, SATA, matching, drag & drop etc. Best wishes!
Both grant board certification, so it’s confusing to mention that one doesn’t. It’s just the certifying bodies have different letters.
I took the AANP a couple of weeks ago. IT was a hard exam but I passed. I took it because I tend to favor being clinically strong. Not to keen on theory (I know it important) but I wanted to be tested on my clinical knowledge base. Also I live in AZ so i know the AANP is excepted well here. I used Leik and Hollier to study. I thought about taking the ANCC (just because I hear it is accepted internationally) too but I am so burnt out I think I am just gonna chill and relax. Good video.
Oh as far as the AANP and labs when I took the test and came across labs; there was no need to write them down the labs and norms were always on the screen they were part of the question. SO i did not have to write the down. Leik says that in her book, but it was no the case in the test.
Cinder congratulations!! That has to be the best feeling in the world! I 100% don’t think I could take both exams, I’m already mentally exhausted and I haven’t even taken one. I can’t hang with theory. So I feel you. Thank you for all the info and congrats again!
Cinder also super good to know about the lab values!!
I would love to get my hands on the Hollier book, please let me know if you want to sell it.
Happy positive And kind I was listening to the old audio files. Sorry!
Great discussion and information. Thank you!
Thank you for this video! It helped clear them up quite a bit! I am set to sit for both in the next month and I am a nervous wreck! 😂 I hope I can do this and be done with test taking!
I’m right there with you!! Testing mid June and I’m entering panic mode 😳
Nurse Liz good luck to you! I’m sure you will do great! 😊👍🏻
Can I ask why you are writing both? Do you know if you can work anywhere with AANP or is there a preference for one exam over another? thanks
Happy positive And kind , I am taking both to have a backup plan. If I fail one I can take the other one right away and if I pass I can cancel the other for a refund.
I see, you are a woman on a mission! Good luck and wishing you success.
Hi Liz! I love your videos! Which one did you end up taking?
That was a a perfect video for all my questions, Thank you,
My professor mentioned that the AANP allows you to take the exam faster, and actually certifies you faster, and the ANCC can have you waiting for months. have you heard anything about this? I can't seem to find anything online to back it.
Also- this may be for another video- but have you heard about jobs taking months once they hire a NP to do their credentialing??
I was able to register for aanp while still in school. Couldn’t test until after I graduated, but could do all the registration. I don’t think that was an option with ancc. So that may make it faster! Also when you get a job, it’s the insurance companies that take forever to credential you. It does usually take them about 3-4 months. Some employers will let you start before then and shadow, others make you wait until the insurance companies credential you so that you can bill under your own name.
Hello nurse Liz,
I just graduated with a Master of Science degree. I am struggling to decide on which certification to sit for. I only plan on sitting for one or the other. Your video is very informative. I am leaning towards the ANCC.
super helpful!! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Took both exams- passed both. Thought ANCC was easier
What materials did u use to study for AANC? I passed AANP... but after this video.. I am considering taking g AANC as well
Hey Liz !! I know u researched a lot about this topic .Can u please tell me where I can actually find about it in more detail ( on a website / book?)
joan sam hey! I found the information on the AANP and ANCC websites! And some from lectures at school and my Liek review book. Hope that helps!
@ Nurse Liz !! Thank you for the quick response.
joan sam of course! Let me know if you have any questions :)
What percentage do we need to pass for both exams?
So for the aanp examp how many questions do you need to get right in order to pass
I dont remember anymore. They should have that info on their website!
Hey @Nurse Liz, I just wanted some clarification on how to qualify for these tests. So if I were to go to school with an FNP concentration, am I excluded from taking any other test besides the FNP one? For example, am I not eligible for the ANCC’s pediatric one?
That's correct. You would need to get additional education to qualify you to sit for exams other than FNP
Nurse Liz Thanks for the reply, appreciate all the vids! Very informative
Excellent
Glad it was helpful!
@@NurseLiz Hey Liz, it is possible to have two focus i.e Psych NP as well as FNP. I am a planning for direct entry MSN.
Thanks
If you are in a dual program. If not you can enroll in a post masters certificate program and obtain the other
@@NurseLiz Great, I am not in dual program I am in 3 years direct MSN program. How much time will it take for Post master certificate for FNP?
Thanks for prompt reply.
To add even more confusion, the AACN has certifications for Acute Care NP and CNS.
That’s wayyy too many similar names
just don't do either. if you want to practice medicine, go to med school.
There are many paths to practicing the many MANY different forms of medicine. If med school worked for you, that's awesome! But don't force other people into just one route that may not work for them.
No one wants over 200000 on student loans . You can go for it !!
I want to thank you for this video. I took the
exam and I failed, but the crazy thing was
that I knew I wasn't ready however, I still took it
hoping I would pass. After receive my results I
went to RUclips searching for others who failed
and your video came up( even though you didn't
fail) but your advice and the tools you used and
posted in this video helped me...I did exactly
what you did. I bought nurse Steph's complete
nursing handbook on Esty. I bought Archer review
and stopped using Uworld, and I was already
using simple nursing which was great especially
with pharm...I used Registered nurse ANCC to
brush up on my math...but what really helped me
the most was Mrs Cynthia High-yield and using
the method and ASK GRAPH format it helped
with breaking down the question & puting them
in my own words. So I thank you, thank for
everything. I passed last week.🕺💃🕺❤️
Also I will love to share her telegram handle
content her if you need any help and tell her I
share her info to you please..😊🫡
