AHCA/NCAL's Gero Nurse Prep is designed to prepare RNs to take the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) board certification exam in gerontological nursing. It also increases RNs’ knowledge of gerontological nursing practice. In fact, Gero Nurse Prep students see a whopping 23 percentage point increase on average on their pre- and post-test scores.
That
increased knowledge could be a big help to nursing facilities under Phase II of CMS’ Requirements of Participation, which takes effect in late November
2017. Under this phase, nursing facilities will be required to demonstrate that they
have the staff competencies and skill sets necessary to provide the level and
types of care to meet the individual needs of their resident population.
Given
that two out of three RNs in the United States have had no geriatric nursing
training, AHCA/NCAL Gero Nurse Prep and ANCC Board Certification are great ways
to demonstrate to surveyors this starting this fall that your RNs have the knowledge
and skill sets necessary to meet your residents’ needs through specialized
geriatric training and board certification.
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, which means having an ANCC Board certified RN can easily give providers an
edge in the marketplace and demonstrate to survey teams that your
facility has staff with strong geriatric nursing competencies.
AHCA/NCAL’s Gero
Nurse Prep
program is outstanding in preparing RNs to pass the ANCC gerontological
certification exam. RNs who complete the
program have a
passing rate of 96 percent on the ANCC exam and receive 30 CEUs. RNs who are interested can become board
certified for less than $1,100 ($690 for AHCA/NCAL Gero Nurse Prep and a
separate $395 to take the ANCC exam).
