I have not set a date again to retake it. I had a ton of meds on mine. I was not expecting that as APHON has a Chemotherapy and Biotherapy cert. which I have. It is not as tough as CPON was though. We do self directed study groups at our hosp. (the last was in sept. though as a group took the test in Oct.) We get CEUs for it. Does your hosp do anything like that?

My hospital does the APOHN class as well but I was the first do take the CPON exam. I did not expect the late effects-Quality of life questions which I don't have alot of experience on and of course alot of drugs!!!! But I am determined and you should as well.

Children's Hospital of Orange County does a course, as does City of Hope.
