AONN+ FFL Certification is unique to the field of navigation. Your AONN+ FFL Certification will provide you with specific credentials and knowledge that can help you improve patient care and further your career development.

AONN+ FFL are proud to offer 2 unique certifications: Oncology Nurse Navigator–Certified Generalist℠ (ONN-CG℠) and Oncology Patient Navigator–Certified Generalist℠ (OPN-CG℠).

For more information, please visit the AONN+ Foundation for Learning website.

The AONN+ FFL Advisory Commission Chairs are working diligently to obtain American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accreditation for the ONN-CG℠ and OPN-CG℠ certification exams. AONN+ certifications will be retroactively recognized upon ANSI accreditation approval.

You must register for the certification exam to ensure that you qualify.

Each certification has a set of criteria and required paperwork that you will be prompted to supply during registration. Each applicant will be evaluated by our Certification Advisory Commission and notified if they qualify to sit for the exam. Please note that each application is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Click on the respective field for criteria information:

• Oncology Nurse Navigator–Certified Generalist℠ (ONN-CG℠)
  
• Oncology Patient Navigator–Certified Generalist℠ (OPN-CG℠)
  

Certification exam fees are $150 for members, and $300 for nonmembers. The fee must be paid at the time of application.

Certification exams are separate from your conference registration fees. The fee to take any of the AONN+ FFL Certification Exams is $150 for members and $300 for nonmembers, which must be paid at the time of applying. Unpaid applications that are submitted will not be evaluated by the Certification Advisory Commission.

If you plan on attending the conference as well, you must register and submit payment separately.

Information on topics to be assessed for each exam can be found in the Testing Blueprint:

• Oncology Nurse Navigator–Certified Generalist℠ (ONN-CG℠)
• Oncology Patient Navigator–Certified Generalist℠ (OPN-CG℠)

Each of our exams have Recommended Study Materials:

• Oncology Nurse Navigator–Certified Generalist℠ (ONN-CG℠)
• Oncology Patient Navigator–Certified Generalist℠ (OPN-CG℠)

All certification applications are evaluated individually on a case-by-case basis. After you submit your application, our Certification Advisory Commission will determine if you are eligible based on the information you provide.

Even if you do not have the exact criteria, it is possible that you may still qualify to sit for the exam. We recommend submitting your application regardless, and an AONN+ representative will contact you if additional information is required.

All applications for certification need to be evaluated prior to testing. Please allow enough time for submission.

Additionally, although the exam tests you on aspects of your job that you likely do on a daily basis, we recommend you give yourself plenty of time to study the modules and learning guides to adequately prepare for the exam.

AONN+ leadership is evaluating alternatives to provide certification opportunities. Additional details will be provided in the coming weeks.

Currently, AONN+ FFL certification exams are only offered at our conferences. You can become certified at our Midyear Conference or Annual Conference.

We are looking into adding more opportunities to facilitate the certification exams throughout the year. Please stay tuned for announcements by signing up for our newsletter, or connecting with us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

• Nurse Navigator: A clinically trained individual responsible for the identification and removal of barriers to timely and appropriate cancer treatment. They guide the patient through the cancer care continuum from diagnosis through survivorship. More specifically, the nurse navigator acts as a central point of contact for a patient and coordinates all components involved in cancer care including surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists; social workers; patient education; community support; financial and insurance assistance; and others. This person has a clinical background and is a critical member of the multidisciplinary cancer team.
  
  
• Patient Navigator: An individual who does not have or use clinical training to provide individualized assistance to patients and families affected by cancer to improve access to health care services. A patient navigator may work within the healthcare system at point of screening, diagnosis, treatment or survivorship or across the cancer care spectrum or outside the health care system at a community-based organization or as a freelance patient navigator. The patient navigator, unlike a “lay” navigator, is a paid professional and serves as a broker between the patient and the health care system. The patient navigator is a primary point of contact for the patient and works with other members of the care team to coordinate care for the patient. This critical person on the multidisciplinary team provides an important perspective on the logistical, structural, and social needs of the patient, as well as cultural considerations, patient values and care preferences.

  In general, a patient navigator provides assistance with identifying challenges to cancer care, identifying potential solutions with patients and families, identifying financial assistance to address patient needs, helping patients identify priority questions about their care, helping patients use time effectively with clinical providers and working with social work and nurse navigator colleagues to provide psychosocial and community support. A social worker or nurse may perform the role of a patient navigator, but, in this instance, they should discuss their scope of practice with their supervisor to ensure they perform duties within their hired role as opposed to within their clinical training.

No, AONN+ membership is open to all those who are involved in patient navigation and survivorship, including nurses, social workers, nonclicnical navigators, case managers, administrators, physicians, researchers, and others.

As with many things that are new and exciting, navigation is an area where many organizations have an interest in engaging and guiding the future of the profession and the role of the navigator. Organizations with a navigation focus take many forms and are approaching this profession from multiple points of view. Additionally, they have different goals and resources for supporting this community. Some examples of other organizations with an interest in the navigation profession include the following:

• American Cancer Society (ACS)
• American College of Oncology Administrators (ACOA)
• American College of Surgeons (ACoS)
• Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC)
• Association of Oncology Social Workers (AOSW)
• LIVESTRONG
• National Coalition of Oncology Nurse Navigators (NCONN)
• National Consortium of Breast Centers (NCBC)
• NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP)
• Oncology Nursing Society (ONS)

The resources provided by these organizations vary greatly and can be very valuable depending on your needs. The ways in which AONN+ differs can be summarized in 3 key points.

• AONN+ was founded and is led by a group of experts in this relatively new profession. Their goal and the goal of the organization is first and foremost to strive to support the navigator community to improve patient care.
• AONN+ is dedicated to evidence-based practice and guidelines for all navigators, whether they be nurses, social workers, or lay professionals. To this end, AONN+ is committed to furthering the profession through collaborative research and produces the only peer-reviewed journal on navigation and survivorship, the Journal of Oncology Navigation & Survivorship^®.
• AONN+ has established a foundation for the purpose of accrediting continuing education activities for the navigator community. This is unlike any other organization listed, since the academy's sole focus is the navigator community, including nurses, social workers, nonclinical professionals, administrators, and others.
