5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Oncology Certification study book, September 8, 2002

By	Julie A. Neefe "JulieSellsHomes" (Chesapeake, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Core Curriculum for Oncology Nursing (Paperback)

I used this book, and the Study Guide for The Core Curriculum for Oncology Nursing textbook, as well as the OCN 3 exam booklets from ONS, and did really well on the OCN Exam that I took in Washington D.C., April 17, 2002. This book helped me so much on being able to pass that test. It is set up exactly like the OCN Test Blueprint. I would study and work my way through each chapter and then test myself in the study guide book, and then I would test myself on one of the OCN Exam booklets, and then I would go through the book again.

5.0 out of 5 stars You MUST buy this to pass the certification test, November 10, 2000

By	G. Hubbard (Lewiston, Idaho USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Core Curriculum for Oncology Nursing (Paperback)

Truly this is your bible for passing the National Oncology Certification Test. This and the Q and A study guide and some practice tests directly from ONS were all I used to take the test this fall. All of us at my work place who used these same materials passed. You really don't need anything else. The only problem is the book is presented in an outline form which makes for difficult reading for pleasure's sake alone but good for studying. Also a good reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BOOK for oncology nurses!, August 9, 2007

By	Cara Camp - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Although there are many complaints about this book because it is in outline form, it is the best oncology nursing book FILLED with great, very useful information. I bought the book to get me through my first year as a brand new nurse and to assist met in studying to become certified as an oncology nurse. The way the sections are broken down is very helpful. You are able to review one specific section at a time. Outlines, such as this allow the reader to focus on the most important FACTS in a very organized manner.
I am a brand new RN on an adult transplant/oncology floor. Many nurses before me have used this particular book and it came highly recommended to me. After only reading through the first chapter, I understand why this book was so highly recommended.
I GIVE IT a 10/10 and also HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!
