The PMHN-BC exam is a core requirement for the Nursing ANCC certification at the Specialty Certification level. Earning this validates your skills for credentials like RN-BC (Registered Nurse-Board Certified), APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse).

Candidates will face 175 questions and have 210 minutes to complete the exam. This means you need strict time management. We strongly recommend taking timed practice tests to ensure you can maintain a steady pace without rushing when under actual exam time pressure.

The official examination fee is $395 USD (ANA Members), $495 USD (Non-Members), and you must achieve a score of 350 (scaled score, range 0-500) to pass. Since retaking the test requires paying the full fee again, utilizing accurate practice materials for thorough self-assessment beforehand is crucial to protect your investment.

Candidate requirements include: Current active RN license; Minimum 2 years full-time practice as a registered nurse; 2,000 hours of clinical practice in psychiatric-mental health nursing within the past 3 years; 30 hours of continuing education in psychiatric-mental health nursing within the past 3 years. Please verify all eligibility details on the official certification page before scheduling your appointment.
