Course Description

This program is designed for oncology nurses seeking a general oncology review in preparation for the ONCC® OCN Exam. We will focus on the following categories from the 2018 OCN blueprint: cancer continuum, oncology nursing practice, cancer treatment modalities, symptom management, palliative care, oncologic emergencies and psychosocial dimension of care. This is not meant to be an introductory course, but rather a comprehensive review of basic oncology nursing practice.

  • Demonstrate preparedness to challenge the OCN Exam.
  • Identify personal learning gaps requiring attention prior to challenging the OCN Exam.
  • Discuss and practice test-taking skills and strategies.
  • Review the assessment and diagnostic findings associated with oncology conditions and diagnoses.
  • Identify the nurse’s role in the management and care of patients across the cancer trajectory.
  • Discuss the clinical presentation and evidence-based intervention of common oncologic emergencies.
  • Identify models of survivorship in oncology practice.
