Members of this Task Force will work with select CCI Staff and Board, as well as expert web designers, to design and implement this new CCI website. Task Force members do not need to be CNOR-certified or have technology experience, but instead be willing to share their opinions and user experience about key elements of a “best-in-class” website experience.

Through a statistical process, the results will establish a raw cut score for the exam. You must be CNOR certified and currently active in perioperative nursing practice.
