MSN Master of Science in Nursing — VIP Practice Certification Exam
MSN — There is no single standardized national 'MSN exam'; MSN-prepared nurses pursue specialty certifications through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). This exam is an original, comprehensive practice set covering the core MSN competencies defined by the AACN Essentials (2021): advanced pathophysiology, pharmacology, health assessment, nursing research and EBP, nursing theory, leadership, health policy, quality improvement, and informatics.
