About this exam
The ANCC Home Health Nursing Certification Examination was designed for registered nurses with experience caring for patients in their homes and communities. The certification recognized specialized knowledge in skilled home health nursing, including assessment, care coordination, patient and caregiver education, and safe care across changing home environments. Important: ANCC has retired this certification, so candidates should confirm directly with ANCC whether any application or examination option is available before planning for the 2027–2028 cycle.
Home health nursing review commonly covers comprehensive patient assessment, OASIS-E assessment and outcome measures, care planning and goal setting, and medication reconciliation and safety. These areas call for clinical judgment as well as knowledge of documentation, patient-centered goals, and coordination with the care team. If you are reviewing legacy exam material or building home health expertise, check the applicable official blueprint and current OASIS guidance. Topic review, answer explanations, and a realistic study plan can help identify gaps; MCQ practice is one way to test your reasoning.
How to prepare for home health nursing certification topics
- First verify the certification’s current status with ANCC and review any available official candidate handbook or archived test content outline before choosing study materials.
- Organize review around comprehensive assessment, OASIS-E measures, individualized care planning, and medication reconciliation; connect each topic to safety, documentation, and clinical decision-making in the home.
- Use timed question sets to practice applying concepts, then review every rationale and track weak areas. Check current official OASIS resources because assessment guidance may change.
