Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation

In honor of Certified Nurses Day this month, we would like to share a few benefits that obtaining certification can provide to you as a nurse. Certification can help validate your specialty knowledge,?increase your feelings of personal accomplishments, and help you feel more confident in your practice. Certification can also enhance your professional credibility and increase patient trust and confidence in you as a nurse. There are many more benefits to obtaining certification, and you can read all about them in our Value of Certification Study located at https://lnkd.in/erha2a7z.

Unexpected delays are a fact of life. But, in preparation for your certification test day, you can try to combat them by scheduling to arrive at your test center early. If you arrive late, there is a possibility that they will not allow you to sit for your test. You've worked too hard to get to this point. Don't let unexpected delays get in your way!

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.

If you take a practice test while studying for your certification test, you should focus on two things when reviewing your answers. First, take note of the questions you got right or wrong. This will help determine where to focus your remaining study time. Second, you should also look for patterns in your answers. Recognizing test anxiety or fatigue can help you prepare to combat those issues during your certification test. #TestTipTuesday
