About Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation

ONCC was founded in 1984 as a non-profit organization. It is governed by a Board of Directors who represent various levels of certification in oncology nursing and the public at large. ONCC administered its first certification examination, the Oncology Certified Nurse (OCN®) examination in 1986. Today, ONCC offers eight credential programs. More than 38,000 nurses are currently certified by ONCC. All ONCC certification examinations are accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies. NCCA is an independent organization that has identified the essential components of a national certification program and determines if certification organizations meet established standards based on those components. These standards are nationally recognized principles utilized by a variety of certification organizations for certification programs in diverse professions. Accreditation by the NCCA indicates that ONCC programs have been evaluated by the Commission and found to meet or exceed all of its established standards.
