    Most certifications require 2 years of practice before you're eligible.

    2 years of practice, PLUS OR 2000 hours some of them. Concentrate on learning your specialty.

    Here, let me Google that for you. In order to be eligible, you'll need at least 12 months of RN experience with 1000 hours in an oncology setting along with an unencumbered license.

    I'm now medically retired but I had my OCN prior to going on disability. There are certain criteria you must meet prior to sitting for your OCN. I don't recall the specifics right now but it's either 1-2 year(s) experience as a RN, an unencumbered license, a certain number of hours worked in oncology (1000 I think), and 10 contact hours of CEUs in oncology. I don't remember anything else but you can look on the ONCC website and find out.
