CNOR Candidate Handbook & Study Plan

CNOR Candidate Handbook 

The CNOR Candidate Handbook outlines the CNOR certification process and includes the CNOR Exam Content Outline and all applicable policies.  In addition, the Handbook contains important details about the Job Analysis which specifies the tasks performed by perioperative nurses and the knowledge and skills required to complete those tasks.  All applicants should review the CNOR Candidate Handbook as it is invaluable in preparing for the CNOR examination.

CNOR Study Plan 

CCI’s sample CNOR Exam Study Plan demonstrates how to organize topics and references to prepare for the exam.  Subjects are arranged by their relationship to commonly encountered perioperative tasks, knowledge and abilities.  Keywords identify what is included in each topic and act as a reference for individual learning needs.  This tool may be modified for individuals as a self-paced learning aid or used in groups as part of a CNOR exam prep curriculum. This plan is to be used as a guide only and is not meant to serve as a comprehensive review of all available literature.
