Certification Discounts
Enjoy significant savings and promote certification with AACN’s certification exam discount programs.
Two Ways to Save
As an industry leader and your partner in acute/critical care nursing certification, we understand your certification needs – balancing cost-efficiency and the benefits certification brings to nurses, patients and hospitals. To help foster excellence through certification, we offer two discount options.
Nurses receive discounted certification exam fees when groups of 10 or more candidates apply together.
Employers and AACN chapters enjoy significant savings by purchasing 30 or more certification exam vouchers.
