CCI Matching Campaign with the AORN Foundation

CCI supports your commitment to patient safety with a matching donation to the AORN Founation. All donations by a certified nurse or in honor of a certified nurse will be matched by CCI up to $5,000.  Last year, this fundraising initiative was a huge success, raising over $21,000 to support the AORN Foundation.

Let’s make this year even better!  You can donate at Congress by visiting the AORN Foundation in La Nouvelle C of the Convention Center, or visit us at booth #5018.

 

Stand Behind Your Credential

CCI is inviting all CNORs/CRNFAs to “Stand Behind Your Credential” at this year’s Congress.  We are offering an exclusive opportunity for our certified nurses to volunteer at the CCI booth #5018 and help promote certification.  Please visit our volunteer page to learn more about how you can support certification at Congress.

Notice

CCI will not be hosting the Oasis Lounge at Congress this year. We realize how much our clients appreciated the opportunity to take a break from their hectic Congress schedule with a warm cup of coffee, a comfortable chair and nice massage. Unfortunately, CCI faces the same economic conditions as your facilities and, in an effort to be fiscally responsible, we are keeping our cost cutting efforts as far away from the CNOR and CRNFA credentialing programs as possible. CCI looks forward to visiting with you at our exhibit booth, #5018, where you will receive a nice set of giveaways.
