What certifications are out there that a Family Practice Clinic RN can acquire? I'd like to learn more about them and see if they would benifit me but I know nothing about them.

Are their Oncology Clinic certs? Cardiac Clinic certs? Etc?

Specializes in Peds, Oncology.

The OCN covers both inpatient and outpatient practicing oncology RN's. However, the requirement to sit for the exam is 1,000 practicing hours as an adult oncology RN.

There is a cardiovascular nursing certification that requires 2,000 hours as a practicing cardiology nurse.

Here's a page of available nursing certifications and their requirements. The general nursing one is no longer available. I'm not sure if family practice would fall under ambulatory care or not?
