Abstract

Certification for oncology nurses shares many similarities with board certification in medicine. Within the specialty of oncology nursing, certification provides one measure of excellence and signals a commitment to oncology nursing practice. Since the beginning of oncology nursing certification in 1986, over 7,200 nurses have become certified. This article describes the certification process for oncology nurses and discusses ways in which physicians can assist in this process.
