I am preparing to take the certification exam now. Which one is easier to take? AACC, AANP??? I know there are several of them.
Also, did anyone take review class by margaret fitzgerald? Is actual class more helpful than the CD?

most np students I have had take both. you only need to pass 1.

Exams are probaby equivalent. But with ANCC you recert in 5 years and you get CME credits for teaching NP students in the clinical setting, but I believe with AANP you recert every 2 years. Don't bother doing both. But DO take Fitzgerald's course.

Take ANCC, if I remember correctly from three years ago it is more widely accepted although they are about the same. It does recert every 5 which is a big plus. I took the Fitzgerald course and it was great.
