AHCA Product of the Week – GERO Nurse Prep

Specifically designed for registered nurses working in long term care, the AHCA/NCAL Gero Nurse Prep course provides comprehensive online training that leads to board certification in gerontological nursing by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for RNs.     

Research conducted by AHCA/NCAL in 2023 found that nursing facilities with at least one ANCC Board certified RN experienced fewer deficiencies, had lower short and long-stay re-hospitalization rates, and significantly higher CMS Star ratings – echoing similar research findings from 2016 and 2019.   

Nurses who complete Gero Nurse Prep show an average 24 percent increase between their pre- and post-course test scores. Gero Nurse Prep grads who choose to sit for the ANCC gerontological nursing certification exam ($395 separate fee paid to ANCC) have a pass rate of 94% on their first try. RNs who pass the ANCC exam can then use the GERO-BC™ credential after their RN credential.    

CEs: 30 nursing contact hours – enough to meet the criteria for taking the ANCC certification exam.
Cost: $790*   

*AHCA/NCAL members save $100 off the regular $790 fee by using the AHCAPAYLESS (all CAPS) promo code when registering for Gero Nurse Prep.     

Audience: All RNs and BSNs. ANCC has additional requirements that must be met to sit for the ANCC certification exam.
