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. Rating:  - You can pass the testThe Oncology nurse certification test is not an easy one, but this book can help. You know all of the drugs and side effect management stuff, but who remembers all those statistics and obsure disease symptoms?? If you are taking the test, this book is great!
