 Rating:  - Core Curriculum of Oncology NursingThis is a great book for reviewing for my certification test. The bad this is that I still haven't received my book from YOUR service! I had to order another copy from a different company to ensure that I would get the book in time to study. I am disappointed in the person I ordered the book from who didn't even have the respect to reply to me emails that I sent them asking about my purchase. I will not ever use your service again. Thanks Rating:  - THE BOOK for oncology nurses!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.

Rating: - Excellent Oncology Certification study bookI 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 ...

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. |
