Studying for the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) test can be easier when you enroll in the Raleigh-Durham ANCC certification training offered by Varsity Tutors. The ANCC is a test that gives registered nurses the chance to prove their ability in providing the best care to their patients. It also enables them to show their specialty expertise and validate their competence to employers. With an ANCC certificate, you can qualify for better job prospects, negotiate a higher salary, and have greater career satisfaction.
The ANCC has a total of 18 different certifications that cover a variety of specialties and practice levels. Each certification has a different set of eligibility requirements, but all will require you to have a valid RN license. You will also need to have work experience as a nurse for most of the certifications such as Gerontological Nursing Certification (RN-BC) and the Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing Certification (RN-BC). There are also certifications that require a master's degree or a bachelor's degree. Three certifications where you will need a bachelor's degree include the Nurse Executive Certification (NE-BC), the Nursing Professional Development Certification (RN-BC), and the Informatics Nursing Certification (RN-BC). If you're planning to study for any of these certifications under the ANCC and want to have an organized and comprehensive review, our Raleigh-Durham ANCC certification course at Varsity Tutors can be an excellent choice for your test prep.
Though you may have gained your nursing knowledge from your education in schools like Duke University School of Nursing or Wake Technical Community College and have years of experience working as a nurse, there could still be concepts and procedures that the test may ask that you might not be aware of. A formal and comprehensive review course led by an expert instructor can have a positive impact on your test prep. Your instructor has industry experience and is someone who knows the content and format of the ANCC. He or she can give detailed explanations of the different types of cases and questions you might encounter in the test. Aside from the content, your instructor can also teach you some valuable test-taking techniques that could improve your efficiency during the exam on test day. For example, your instructor can train you on how to analyze the wording of a question so as to eliminate incorrect answers in the choices and boost your confidence when answering the test.
Another advantage of studying in the Raleigh-Durham ANCC certification training is that you will be with other ANCC candidates. You have the chance to learn from other nurses' perspectives on different nursing concepts covered in the test such as pain assessment, plan of care, diagnosis, and clinical management. Being in a collaborative learning environment can help you deal with procrastination and boredom in your studies by regularly engaging in active discussions with your classmates and instructor.
Of course, you may not always understand the many concepts you'll discuss in the course. If you encounter such challenging concepts and feel that you need more time outside of class to learn about them, you can request to meet your instructor in a one-on-one session. Receiving this type of personal attention in your review can be an effective way to clarify any misunderstood points you may have had in the past and let you learn new concepts much faster in the future.
Studying with an expert instructor through our convenient Raleigh-Durham ANCC certification class can boost your level of preparedness for the test. Reach out to our educational consultants at Varsity Tutors now if you would like to get extra help in your ANCC test prep.
