This page is for an RN considering the Adult-Gerontology Acute Care NP track. Below: a non-clinical scope summary, the certifying body (AANP or ANCC), and — when our index has a matching program family — the accredited online programs that prepare you for the exam. The shortlist is sorted by data fit, not by commission; a school appears only when its accreditation is confirmed. If you can only check one signal here, it is the certifying body: that decides which exam you sit and what your state licenses.
