[NPInfo] AANP Recertification HELP!!

[Cathy Giessel]

I am aware of many more problems with ANCC certification and  
recertification than with AANP.  Examples of the problems are:  not  
responsive, extremely slow turn-around on recertifications, unable to  
reach a person who knows what is going on, no return phone calls.
In my opinion, changing to AACN would be a move down, rather than up.
