Book excerpt: The critical mistake that sabotages OCN exam scores (and how you can avoid it). Do you know the reason why roughly 1 in 4 oncology nurses fails the OCN exam? And why thousands more feel totally unprepared - even after months of prep? It's not the number of practice tests or questions you do. Or whether you have enough experience. Even some of the most seasoned nurses struggle with certain parts of the OCN exam. That's because passing the OCN exam isn't a matter of memorizing information or knowing everything there is to know. It's about knowing what specifically is covered on the exam itself and having a personalized plan for filling in any knowledge gaps. That's what makes this OCN Exam guide different. Rather than leaving you to figure out how to schedule your study sessions, this book provides a 14-week preparation roadmap along with key concepts to know for each section of the exam. It specifies particular topics you'll most likely be tested on and even shows you the percentage breakdown of all the questions by each section. You'll also gain access to special tips and insights for tackling some of the trickier parts of the exam. For example: 2 full-length exams (330 questions) to practice with, along with detailed answer explanations for each to help you spot any areas of knowledge to focus on A special study "hack" that makes it easier to stay focused and prevent information overload The vital pre-practice step that helps you get the most out of any OCN practice test you take (don't attempt a single practice question until you've done this) How to ensure you don't waste your time focusing on the wrong subjects Which aspects of health promotion and disease prevention are likely to show up on the exam Detailed profiles of the 18 cancer care symptoms to know about (including etiology, frequency, and treatment options) Which oncological emergencies are you tested on, and important facts to remember for each one How the ONCC defines the role of the oncology nurse during screening and detection, and which nursing actions are recognized in support of cancer screening The 7 key components of navigating patient care, and how these apply to the overall cancer care plan What to know for each of the different treatment modalities covered on the OCN exam 9 experience-based tips and techniques to help minimize the pain and anxiety of test preparation And much more! This won't provide every question that shows up on the exam. But it provides you with the knowledge to answer almost any question you come across. The strategies inside this book combined with detailed answer keys can help you extract the most out of each practice question. Plus, with the week-by-week "OCN Roadmap," you'll have a simple and easy way to stay on top of your studies. So whether you're an experienced oncology nurse or still fairly new to nursing, this guide can not only help you focus on the right topics but also keep you on the path toward earning your certification. If you're ready to dominate the OCN exam and take your career to the next level, then you need this book today!
