Military nurses wishing to take an exam outside of the United States may sit for paper and pencil exams (Ambulatory Care, Pediatric Nurse, or Public Health Nurse - Advanced) only at authorized DANTES test sites. For security reasons, ANCC computer-based exams must be taken at one of the Prometric™ global testing centers. See Testing Outside the US in the related links below.
If you are planning to take a paper and pencil exam at a DANTES site outside of the United States in 2008, some important information is provided below:
- Candidates must notify the Test Control Officer of the DANTES site prior to applying for certification for approval to test at the DANTES site.
- A letter identifying the name, address, email, telephone, and fax number of the desired DANTES testing center or your base education officer must accompany your completed application form, along with the examination fees and an additional fee of $125.
- Military candidates within the United States must utilize regular ANCC testing sites.
