The American Nurses Credentialing Center welcomes and encourages nurses in academia to become certified in Gerontological Nursing. Although accumulating the necessary clinical hours for certification may seem unreachable at first glance, please be aware that hours you spend with students in direct care for patients 65 years of age and older, can count towards the minimum of 2000 hours required for certification.
