The fact that the " RN -BC" credential seems "pretty generic" to you doesn't change the fact that it is the generalist psychiatric nursing credential awarded by the ANCC. Specializes in psych, addictions, hospice, education. I've also never heard of PMHN. The exams are specialty-based, however. So, you might be a pediatric or a psychiatric or another specialty and still have the same credentials after your name Nurse Nancy, RN -BC no matter which exam you took.
It does not appear to be a credential they offer or special course of study. Specializes in Psych ICU, addictions. Jun 14, It's used as a descriptor. Thanks for the replies everyone. I didn't intend it to be a critical comment calling RN -BC "generic" but more or like it's a "broad" credential given the fact it's the same credential for multiple specialties. Jun 15, The credential just seems broader than it is because the designation RN -BC stands for board certified, btw is given by the ANCC to any of the nurses they certify--ANCC doesn't have specific designations for identifying each of the individual specialities.
HospitalCommunity health clinicMental health settingEducational institutions. Certification in a variety of specialties is available through the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Not all specialties have their own certification exam.
Must recertify with AANP every five years. Recertification requires at least hours of clinical practice and 75 contact hours of continuing education, relevant to the NPs role and focus.
ANCC recertification is also required every five years. As of , ANCC requires continuing education hours, including at least 51 percent directly related to the NPs focus at 25 in pharmacotherapeutics. To be eligible for recertification, the CNS must complete at least hours of continuing education, 51 percent of which must be in the CNSs chosen specialty and 25 hours of which must be in pharmacotherapeutics.
Because NPs often work in private practice with little or no supervision from physicians, the most successful tend to be independent and organized. NPs may also work closely with patients directly for many years, meaning empathy and communication are also of utmost importance. CNSs often work in busy, collaborative environments.
A successful CNS should be able to handle stress efficiently and keep track of care and progress for many different patients. Because CNSs may also choose to specialize in a certain type of care, it is important that they are able to stay focused and delve into expertise on one subject for long spans of time.
Some NPs must have collaboration agreements with physicians in order to practice, meaning ultimately an MD supervises their work. Whether this is required for NPs depends on the state in which they practice. CNSs work in collaborative setting where they can act as both supervisor of other nurses and supervisees of doctors and other specialists.
