​Long term care LPN/LVN and RN clinical competency is fundamental to quality care and outcomes and to success in a value-based purchasing environment. Clinical competency is also important to CMS in annual survey inspections.

AHCA/NCAL’s Gero Nurse Prep course significantly increases nurses’ gerontological nursing knowledge and competency test scores showing an average 24 percent increase between pre- and post-course test scores. Nurses have one year to complete the Gero Nurse Prep course and earn 30 ANCC nursing contact hours.

Research conducted in 2025 by the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing found compelling reasons to consider the Gero Nurse Prep course for LPNs/LVNs and RNs. Nursing facilities with at least one nurse who had completed the Gero Nurse Prep course experienced:   

• Lower turnover among CNAs, LPNs, and RNs
• Higher average occupancy rates
• Stable administrator retention
• Fewer survey deficiencies
• Reduced short-stay hospital readmission rates
• Higher RN hours per resident day

Specifically designed for nurses working in long term care, this curriculum provides comprehensive online gerontological nurse training that can also lead to board certification in gerontological nursing by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) for two-year RNs and BSNs who choose to pursue that credential. RNs who complete the course have a 94% pass rate on their first try taking the ANCC Board certification exam.
