Adult-Gerontology Primary Care NP Roadmap

From an AGPCNP Student to a Practicing AGPCNP

Five milestones every Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner walks through. Each one has a Barkley resource built for it.

  1. Build foundation

    Practice questions, focused readings, and texts that strengthen your weak areas before exam day

  2. Test your readiness

    Simulate the certification exam with timed 100-question DRTs. Identify areas for improvement. Remediate with Barkley Blocks or use Barkley’s Brain Boosters to improve confidence, critical thinking, and recall.

  3. Take a review course

    Your certification review, your way. Choose the format that works best for you; get the same trusted, interactive review experience with the flexibility to learn your way.

  4. Pass your boards

    Whether you choose AANP or ANCC, the entire Barkley library is built to help you pass on the first try.

  5. Stay certified

    We’re still here as your CE journey begins. Once you’re certified, switch to the certified NP path.
