The PMHN-BC exam, officially titled ANCC Psychiatric–Mental Health Nursing Certification (PMHN-BC), is the Nursing exam you pass to earn the Nursing ANCC certification, a credential at the Specialty Certification level. Passing it confirms the skills defined in the official exam outline, and it is associated with related credentials such as RN-BC (Registered Nurse-Board Certified), APRN (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse).

The PMHN-BC exam includes 175 questions and gives you 210 minutes to finish them. That is a tight pace per question, so get used to reading each stem once, flagging anything uncertain, and moving on rather than getting stuck. Running timed practice tests in the Fast2test desktop or online test engine is the most reliable way to build that rhythm before exam day.

The passing score for the PMHN-BC exam is 350 (scaled score, range 0-500), and the official registration fee is $395 USD (ANA Members), $495 USD (Non-Members). Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying $395 USD (ANA Members), $495 USD (Non-Members) again in full to retake it, so book your slot only when your scores on Fast2test practice tests sit consistently above the passing line.

Nursing lists the following prerequisites or eligibility notes for the PMHN-BC exam: 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. Requirements can change over time, so confirm the details on the official exam page at Nursing's official site before you register.
