The NCLEX-RN exam is very difficult, so it&#8217;s important to choose a nursing degree program with high pass rates. For example, UCF has a first-time pass rate of 92%, higher than state and national averages. Prospective RNs can either complete an associate&#8217;s degree in nursing (ASN) or a <a href=\"https:\/\/nursing.ucf.edu\/academics\/bachelors-degrees\/\">bachelor&#8217;s degree in nursing<\/a> (BSN). ASN programs are typically shorter than BSN programs, but nurses with an ASN degree earn less than those with a BSN degree\u2014and RNs with a BSN degree are in higher demand. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aacnnursing.org\/news-Information\/fact-sheets\/nursing-fact-sheet\">American Association of Colleges of Nursing<\/a>, 46% of nursing employers require RNs to have a BSN degree, and 86% of employers prefer to hire nurses with BSN degrees.\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n<p><!--- Onc--><\/p>\n<div class=\"container my-md-3\" id=\"orn\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"text-center col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 bg-primary p-4 text-center\">\n<h3 class=\"h4\">Oncology Registered Nurse<\/h3>\n<hr>\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase h6\">Role<\/h4>\n<p>Educate cancer patients regarding their cancer status and treatment options<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6 py-4 bg-faded\">\n<h6 class=\"font-weight-bold h4 text-uppercase\">Median Salary in the U.S.<\/h6>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/19\/files\/2023\/05\/SalaryIcon.png\" class=\"img-fluid w-50 my-2 p-4 p-md-1\" alt=\"salary icon\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" class=\"img-fluid w-50 my-2 p-4 p-md-1 lazyload\" alt=\"salary icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/19\/files\/2023\/05\/SalaryIcon.png\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"h1\">$77,600<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-6 py-4 bg-primary-lightest\">\n<h6 class=\"font-weight-bold h4 text-uppercase\">Job Growth<\/h6>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/19\/files\/2023\/05\/JobGrowthIcon.png\" class=\"img-fluid w-50 my-2 p-4 p-md-1\" alt=\"Job Growth Icon\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" class=\"img-fluid w-50 my-2 p-4 p-md-1 lazyload\" alt=\"Job Growth Icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/19\/files\/2023\/05\/JobGrowthIcon.png\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"h1\">9%<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-6 py-4 bg-primary-lightest\">\n<h6 class=\"font-weight-bold h4 text-uppercase\">Employment Settings<\/h6>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/19\/files\/2023\/05\/EmploymentSettingIcon.png\" class=\"img-fluid w-50 my-2 p-4 p-md-1\" alt=\"Employment setting icon\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" class=\"img-fluid w-50 my-2 p-4 p-md-1 lazyload\" alt=\"Employment setting icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/19\/files\/2023\/05\/EmploymentSettingIcon.png\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-size-sm\">Cancer treatment centers and hospitals<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-6 py-4 bg-faded\">\n<h6 class=\"font-weight-bold h4 text-uppercase\">Relevant Certifications<\/h6>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/19\/files\/2023\/05\/CertificationIcon.png\" class=\"img-fluid w-50 my-2 p-4 p-md-1\" alt=\"certification icon\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" class=\"img-fluid w-50 my-2 p-4 p-md-1 lazyload\" alt=\"certification icon\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/19\/files\/2023\/05\/CertificationIcon.png\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-size-sm\">ASN or BSN degree, NCLEX-RN exam, and oncology-certified nurse exam<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"mt-3 mt-md-0 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\n<p class=\"font-size-sm\">\n  <strong class=\"text-uppercase\">Overview<\/strong><br>\n  An oncology nurse is highly trained in treatment for cancer patients.
