Congratulations to Carmeleta B., Spring '24 participant who earned her OCN Credential!

“I found the review course very helpful in that it helped me to identify and focus on the areas where I was the weakest. Being a Clinical Research Nurse and not having oncology bedside experience or infusion experience made me hesitant to take the exam. However, the course, definitely increased my confidence in my knowledge. I think the most helpful aspect of the course was the time spent going over test questions with Elizabeth McGrath. I really appreciated her insight and encouragement. And I was quite excited to learn that the test found no areas of deficiency for me. Thanks so much for all you do for the oncology specialty of nursing.”


Congratulations to Liz C., September '23 participant who has earned her OCN Credential!
