Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation

Are you traveling to ONS Congress in a few weeks? Make the most of your time there by taking your assessment before you arrive! To use any CE you take for renewal, your assessment needs to be taken* prior to completing them. This includes any CE you plan to take at Congress this year. If you need your authorization to assess resent, please reach out to Customer Relations at [email protected]. We can't wait to see you there! *If this is your first time renewing, you do not need to assess and will use your test results report to complete your learning plan.

Certified Nurses Day is under a month away! On March 19, we celebrate all certified nurses and their contribution to healthcare teams all around the world. March 19 is a special day in the field of nursing certification, as it is the birthday of Dr. Margretta "Gretta" Madden Styles, RN, EdD, FAAN. She recognized the importance of credentialing and architected the first comprehensive study of nurse credentialing in the 1970s. She was also instrumental to the creation of nursing regulations through the International Council of Nurses and was a driving force behind the creation of the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). Due in part to the dedicated work of Dr. Styles and the associations she helped pioneer, ONCC is now able to offer certifications across numerous oncology specialties. With over 40,000 certified oncology nurses, we are honored to carry on the work of Dr. Styles in oncology nursing.
