Having at least one RN who has been certified in gerontological nursing by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) has been correlated to achieve better outcomes in nursing facilities.
Research
conducted by AHCA/NCAL in 2016 found that the rehospitalization rates in skilled
nursing centers with at least one RN certified in gerontological nursing by the
ANCC consistently have
run at least two percentage points lower than the national average since
2011. The facilities were also twice as
like to receive a 5-Star rating from CMS.
ANCC
is the world’s largest and most prestigious nurse credentialing organization
and a subsidiary of the American Nurses Association. Less than one percent of America’s RNs are Board
certified in gerontological nursing. That
means having an ANCC Board certified RN can easily give providers an edge in
the marketplace.
To
help increase the number of Board certified RNs, AHCA/NCAL’s Gero Nurse Prep program is
designed to help RNs prepare for and pass the ANCC gerontological certification
exam. RNs who complete the AHCA/NCAL Gero Nurse Prep program have a
passing rate of 96 percent on the ANCC exam on their first try and receive 30
CEUs.
AHCA/NCAL Gero
Nurse Prep
does not stop there. It increases RNs’
knowledge of gerontological nursing practice.
Gero Nurse Prep students see a whopping 23 percentage point increase on
average on their pre- and post-test scores.
Those smarter RNs who become ANCC Board certified correlate to the
better outcomes found in the AHCA/NCAL research.
