The average 2017 SNF VBP performance score across the nation was 34.4.

To help RNs prepare for the ANCC Board certification exam, AHCA/NCAL offers an online course called Gero Nurse Prep. RNs who complete the course earn 30 nursing contact hours and experience a 96% pass rate on the ANCC certification exam on the first try. Gero Nurse Prep students also see a whopping 24 percent average increase between their pre- and post- Gero Nurse Prep test scores. ANCC Board certification in gerontological nursing is the gold standard in demonstrating clinical excellence in geriatric patient care for RNs.
