Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AOCNP certification?

The AOCNP (Advanced Oncology Certified Nurse Practitioner) exam is a nationally recognized certification offered by the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation (ONCC). It validates the advanced knowledge, skills, and competencies of Nurse Practitioners specializing in oncology, demonstrating their expertise in providing care to patients with cancer.

What are the eligibility requirements to take the AOCNP exam?

To be eligible, you must:

  • Hold a current, active RN license.
  • Have completed an accredited graduate Nurse Practitioner program (Master's, Post-Master's, or DNP).
  • Have completed a minimum of 500 supervised clinical hours in an NP program.
  • Have completed graduate-level coursework in advanced health assessment, advanced pharmacology, and advanced pathophysiology.

What major content areas are covered on the exam?

The exam content is weighted across five main subject areas:

  • Cancer Treatment and Supportive Care (45%)
  • Cancer Continuum (35%)
  • Oncologic Emergencies (10%)
  • Psychosocial Issues (5%)
  • Professional Practice and Roles of the APRN (5%)

How often can you retake the exam if you don’t pass on the first attempt?

You may apply to retake the exam up to two more times after the initial attempt (i.e. three total tries). However, you must wait at least 90 days between attempts. After three failures, you typically must wait one year before applying again.

How do I apply for the AOCNP exam?

Applications are submitted online through the ONCC website. The process involves creating an account, completing the application, uploading required documents (like your NP program transcript), and paying the exam fee. Once approved, you will receive an Authorization to Test (ATT) email to schedule your exam.

How do I prepare for the AOCNP exam?

Use ONCC's free sample questions, plus resources like the ONCC Test Content Outline, ONS core curriculum, and Prephow AOCNP practice exam. Focus on weak areas identified in practice tests, and consider oncology-specific CE courses.

How long is the AOCNP certification valid?

AOCNP certification is valid for four years. To maintain your certification, you must meet renewal requirements through the ONCC's Renewal Options, which typically involve continuing education and professional development activities in oncology nursing.

What is the difference between AOCNP and AOCNS?

This is a very common point of confusion.

  • AOCNP is for Nurse Practitioners (NPs). NPs have advanced practice authority, which includes diagnosing, prescribing medication, and managing patient treatment plans.
  • AOCNS (Advanced Oncology Certified Clinical Nurse Specialist) is for Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs). CNSs are experts in clinical practice, focusing on improving patient outcomes through expert nursing care, education, research, and system-level leadership.
