CNOR Recertification by Exam Fees
To recertify by exam, the fee for AORN members is $250, and $350 for non-members.
Although you may deduct your CCI fee payments as business expenses, they're not deductible as charitable contributions. For individual assistance, contact your tax consultant.
About the Exam for CNOR Recertification
The CNOR certification exam consists of 200 multiple-choice questions, and four hours are allowed to complete the exam. Individual scores are based on the number of correct answers. Fifteen of the 200 questions on the exam will not be scored. They're not obvious, so you shouldn't spend time trying to determine which ones they are.
You don't need previous computer experience to take the exam in computerized form, since a preexam tutorial provides instructions on how to take the exam on the computer. You'll also find examples of how to select answers and how to mark questions that you may want to return to and review before completing the exam. If the examination is interrupted for more than 30 minutes due to an equipment malfunction, the exam will be rescheduled at no additional charge.
As part of its commitment to quality and test security, CCI provides multiple forms of the CNOR exam. Although each is developed from the test blueprint, the level of difficulty may vary slightly because different items appear on different forms. Because it would be unfair to require a candidate taking a slightly more difficult form of the exam to answer as many items correctly as a candidate taking an easier form, the statistical procedure known as equating is used to correct for differences in test difficulty. This method maintains the passing score at a scaled score of 620, even though the passing raw score may vary among test forms.

Americans with Disabilities Act Statement
Whenever possible, CCI is committed to providing reasonable accommodations in its examination processes to otherwise qualified individuals with physical or mental disabilities in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Pursuant to the ADA, accommodations are provided to qualified candidates with disabilities to the extent that such accommodation does not fundamentally alter the examination or cause an undue burden to the agency.
Candidates with disabilities must notify CCI in writing no later than 60 days prior to the examination testing window stating the type of accommodation needed and providing appropriate documentation of the disability. Documentation should include correspondence from a healthcare provider with first-hand knowledge of your disability that describes the nature of the disability and specific recommendations for accommodating the disability. The letter should be on that professional's letterhead stationery and include his or her title, address, phone number, and original signature.
Examples of requests for special testing accommodations that may be granted include modification of seating or other physical arrangements in the examination facility, providing for the examination to be taken in an accessible location, or providing for a reasonable extension of testing time.
Examples of requests for special testing accommodations that may be denied include modification of the content of an objective multiple-choice examination, providing for unlimited testing time, permitting a reader to paraphrase test material, or having the material translated into another language.
All accommodation determinations will be made by CCI at its discretion.
