The AANP is rumored to be the easier of the two exams, specifically for those seeking their FNP certification since it has a 5% higher pass rate than that of the ANCC FNP exam.

The CEN specialty exam is difficult. Nurses must correctly answer approximately 75% of the questions to pass. The pass rate for the CEN exam in 2021 was about 51%.

The ANCC issues a board certification and the AANP issues a certification; both validate an NP's knowledge and education. Most NPs who seek ANCC certification are typically interested in teaching and research, while those who seek an AANP certification often want a clinical career.

I didn't think either of them was that hard, but CCRN was probably the more challenging of the two. No, ACLS and PALS wouldn't be applicable to the content of either.

The ANCC certification test blueprint has the majority of questions focused on clinical practice, but it has a greater percentage of questions focused on role-professional responsibilities and health care systems than the AACN examination. How can nurses determine which one would be the better for them to pursue?

Available certifications include: Family Nurse Practitioner Certification (FNP) Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Certification (A-GNP)

AACN is an ANCC accredited approver of nursing continuing professional development. AACN also offers CERP approval for Medical Device Companies.

So, you know from the data above that the CCRN exam is likely harder than the NCLEX. Now, you need to know how to be among the 79% that pass each year. Get your experience. The best way to increase your odds of passing your exam is to have sufficient experience working in critical care.
