   RADIATION_RN replied to hemoncOK's topic in Oncology

   I took the OCN in July of last year and passed. While I did not think it was crazy difficult, it was one of those tests where I had no idea how I did until I hit the "submit" button and it said passed. I took the all day review course offered by the ...

   Thank you! I have only taken Professional Nursing A&B and am now halfway through Holistic Care of Older Adult. I was planning on saving Research until the very end just because of the horror stories I have heard about people getting stuck with aw...

   Sorry to but in, but is the rumor true, research no longer requires any group work?

4. OCN vs. Cancer Basics Vs. Bio/chemo cert

   RADIATION_RN replied to LevitateMe's topic in Oncology

   I just took my OCN exam in July and passed! Yay! I went to an all day review class a few weeks before and that helped me a lot. Then I studied the free material and videos on noep.org which re-inforce that material. I also purchased the Oncology Nur...

5. UTA FALL 2015...Which general ED classes can be taken together?

   RADIATION_RN replied to SCcountrygirlRN's topic in Texas (UTA)

   You can search the threads on here for some of the answers from students whom have taken Gen Ed classes through UTA. The consensus is pretty much to avoid the History classes and Math classes as they are insanely time consuming and difficult. I neede...

   RADIATION_RN replied to RNexplorer's topic in Oncology

   I see that all the time unfortunately and we don't have wound care nurses as my clinic is not in a hospital setting. What our rad oncs recommend is keeping the area as clean as possible, they are big users of Domeboro soaks, Silvadene to help fight i...

8. RN-BSN and ADN-BSN Easy?

   RADIATION_RN replied to Cronin's topic in ADN/BSN

   I am going through the online RN-BSN program at UT Arlington. 99% of the nursing classes are 5 weeks long, so you can work as fast or slow as you want. The first class, which is the one I just finished, is 10 weeks long and it was pretty easy. Like s...

9. New Job - Confidence Low

   RADIATION_RN replied to jva13's topic in Oncology

   Welcome to oncology! I am in outpatient oncology also but in the radiation side of it. Every new specialty takes time to gain confidence. My outlook is that as nurses, we never stop learning and we will learn new things everyday. Helpful tip which h...

10. Uuniversity of Texas Arlington RN-BSN Online

    RADIATION_RN replied to pir8's topic in Texas (UTA)

    Clinicals aren't required because you are already an RN. I believe the Capstone course, the last course of the program, you may need to shadow a nurse manager, but that it all.

11. Anyone starting RN to BSN online in Fall 2014

    RADIATION_RN replied to mugs's topic in Texas (UTA)

    No actual lectures, just short videos for each week and honestly the videos were enough of a recap of important material so you could successfully do the quizzes and/or discussion board for that particular week. If you click under "resources" there s...

12. Anyone starting RN to BSN online in Fall 2014

    RADIATION_RN replied to mugs's topic in Texas (UTA)

    I just finished that course. I was used to the online format since I chose as many online courses as I could through nursing pre-reqs. I don't enjoy sitting in a class and having teachers read power points to me. With that in mind, as tech savy as I ...
