CNOR Recertification Deadline - July 1st of the year you are due to recertify.
Learn about the methods for CNOR recertification and apply online using our easy step-by-step process.
Welcome to the CNOR® recertification process. This section is for recertification by contact hours, or exam. It is also for information on reinstatement of a lapsed CNOR credential through the CNOR Portfolio or the CNOR exam.
CNOR credentialing represents a level of professional achievement and a demonstrated knowledge of clinical competence and practice standards. Just as important, it demonstrates proficiency in support of quality patient care and sets a standard of commitment to the profession of operating room nursing.
Achieving recertification for your CNOR credential strengthens your leadership as a role model in the healthcare community at large and as a steward for the operating-room professional community.
Your credential reflects a deep personal commitment and accountability that inspire credibility and confidence in your professional knowledge. It also shows your dedication to higher standards of care with patients and peers, and as a representative of your workplace.
