in all fairness to this new thriving company, everyone has to start somewhere and if I am not mistaken, didn't AANAC start in a spare room in Diane's home. I think its fine to say you would prefer one over the other, but unless you have really had dealings with them we shouldn't be so quick to judge. There website is not all that bad, sometimes you have to start small and cut corners in someplaces in order to grow. We should all know better......

Also you should all check out the memo Diane Carter did (on aanac website) about Certificate versus Certification and the fact that AANAC did extensive research and there is no such thing as "certification" for this.

I do think it is interesting that a month ago I couldn't even find a link to this website and it was already being solicited. I have no intention of giving them my hard earned money. I received my RAC-C in July last year and haven't seen anything that compares so far. The AANAC is a fantastic resource. I wonder how many other places there are like this other one tho... ----- Original Message ----- From: Doyle, Renee <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' <mailto:'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'> Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2004 2:00 PM Subject: RE: another organization This appears to be a new training organization. Very basic website, obviously not done by a professional website designer. Many areas still under construction - including membership benefits. No information about the training/credentials of the people doing the training - not even their names. Question/Answer area for/by members does not seem to exist at present. Although sort of implied by use of the logo, no claim actually made that contact hours are approved by the Florida Healthcare Assn. They may in fact provide useful training, but if you want your "credential" to be "credible" - my personal opinion is that you need to look elsewhere. I would not be giving them my money with no more information than they have provided on this website. Original Message----- From: nursejane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2004 9:18 AM To: AANAC Subject: another organization Yesterday I received another letter from NRAI regarding certification. This is the same one we talked about a while back and I could find no info on the web last time. The phone number and address were a couple numbers off, etc and I thought it was bogus. I rechecked for the website after this last correspondence and they do have one now. It is located in Florida. Anyone from Fla. aware of this? Is it legitimate? Any info on how long, nationally recognized etc? web address is www.nrai.net <http://www.nrai.net> check it out and your thoughts please? /---------------------------------------------------------- The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators "Committed to the Assessment Professional" Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
