The Standards of Oncology Nursing Education: Generalist and Advanced Practice Levels was published in 1989, and the Standards of Advanced Practice in Oncology Nursing was pub- lished in 1990.
ɐ A special interest group for ONPs began in 1990 and is now presented online as the NP community.
ɐ ONP competencies were first published in 2004, then revised with the second edition released in 2007 (ONS, 2007). These are being updated as part of a larger project to update the Standards and Scope of Practice for APRNs to reflect current specialty practice in oncology.
ɐ A role delineation study (RDS) to determine the key knowl- edge and skills ONPs possess was conducted by ONCC in 1993 and informed the first Advanced Oncology Certified Nurse (AOCN®) certification in 1995. An RDS for oncology APRNs was repeated in 2005, with the determination made to split the AOCN® certification into two areas: one for the advanced oncology certified nurse practitioner (AOCNP®) and another for the advanced oncology certified clinical nurse special- ist (AOCNS®). A repeat RDS for the AOCNP® examination occurred in May 2018.
ONS publishes multiple resources for ONPs (see Figure 3), including two books specifically tailored for their practice: the Clinical Manual for Oncology Advanced Practice Nurse and the Advanced Oncology Nursing Certification Review and Resource Manual.
ɐ The Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing (CJON) and the Oncology Nursing Forum publish articles with content relevant to ONP practice. CJON and the ONS Voice have columns dedi- cated to advanced practice in each issue.
ɐ ONS offers five courses that are specifically created for ONPs and that can be taken individually or bundled together in preparation for the AOCNP® examination. These include topics related to prevention and diagnosis, professional prac- tice, quality of life, symptom management, and treatment. ONS also offers two courses designed to provide ONPs, CNSs,

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
