Frequently Asked Questions

What is the OCN certification?

The OCN (Oncology Certified Nurse) certification is a credential offered by the ONCC that validates a registered nurse's specialized knowledge and expertise in oncology nursing. It demonstrates competence in areas like cancer care continuum, treatment modalities, symptom management, oncologic emergencies, and psychosocial care, promoting patient safety and professional excellence in cancer care.

What are the eligibility requirements for the OCN exam?

To be eligible, you must have:

  • A current, active, and unencumbered RN license.
  • A minimum of 2,000 hours of adult oncology nursing practice within the 48 months (4 years) prior to your application.
  • At least 24 months of experience as an RN within the 48 months prior to application.
  • A minimum of 10 contact hours of nursing continuing education in oncology within the 36 months (3 years) prior to application.

What major content areas are covered on the OCN Test Blueprint?

  • Care Continuum (19%)
  • Symptom Management and Palliative Care (21%)
  • Treatment Modalities (19%)
  • Oncology Nursing Practice (17%)
  • Oncologic Emergencies (12%)
  • Psychosocial Dimensions of Care (12%)

How do I register for the OCN exam?

You can register online through the ONCC website. After submitting your application and paying the exam fee, you’ll receive an authorization to test (ATT) email that allows you to schedule your exam at a PSI testing center or online via remote proctoring.

What is the passing score for the OCN exam?

The OCN exam uses a scaled scoring system, and the passing score is typically set at a scaled score of 350 on a scale of 200-500. This means you don't need to answer every question correctly to pass the exam is designed to measure clinical competency at a reasonable standard. Your score report will indicate whether you passed or did not pass, and if unsuccessful, you'll receive feedback about content areas to study further.

How do I prepare for the OCN exam?

Preparation strategies include using ONCC’s OCN Test Content Outline, reviewing official study guides, enrolling in OCN review courses, and taking Prephow OCN practice tests. Consistent study and familiarity with the exam blueprint are key to success.

How long should I study for the OCN exam and what's an effective study strategy?

Most candidates spend 4-12 weeks preparing for the OCN exam, depending on their current knowledge level and how recently they've used specific content areas. An effective strategy typically involves reviewing the test blueprint, using multiple study resources to reinforce concepts, taking practice exams to identify weak areas, and focusing additional study time on those domains. Many successful candidates recommend studying consistently rather than cramming, and reviewing real-world clinical scenarios from your own practice.
