OCN Review advice please!

Specialties Oncology

Published

I will be taking the OCN exam for the first time in May 2009. Any advice on preparing for this exam?! Books to buy? or review courses?

Has anyone taken the ONS Online OCN Review Course?? If so, was it helpful? It's based off of Core Curriculum for Oncology Nursing (4th ed.).

OCNRN63,

How long did it take you to find out if you passed the test? I also see some people know their score and/or where their deficiencies were. Do you know anything about this?

Waiting to find out if you passed NCLEX was nerve racking - the wait was almost as as hard as taking the exam. I dread going through the waiting period again.

Thanks for your time in answering these questions,

You find out immediately. They also give you a breakdown of all the sections and tell you how you scored.

OCNRN63,

Thanks for the info. Nice to know right away if you passed or not and where you didn't do so well. Can't learn if you don't know what is wrong.

Thanks!
