Why a PCCN Self-Assessment Exam?
1) For PCCN Exam Preparation
AACN Certification Corporation wants to help prepare you for
success in seeking this professional credential for critical care nurses. With the
help of our testing agency, Applied Measurement Professionals, Inc., and their subsidiary
LXR, we are now able to offer this Internet-based practice exam. With the SAE you
are able to practice taking PCCN-like questions, experience computer-based testing
like the PCCN exam, review rationales for correct and incorrect answers, and receive
a score report to assess your strengths and areas for further study.
2) For CERPs Toward Certification Renewal
If you are currently certified as a PCCN, once each renewal
period you may take the PCCN Adult SAE as a continuing competency measure, and if
you achieve a score of 70% or higher, you will earn
12 Category A CERPs (Continuing Education Recognition
Points) toward your renewal. Save your e-mailed score report for documentation,
to submit should you be selected for audit.
