Certification Coaches Program
CCI’s Coaches’ program creates mentoring opportunities for certified nurses to promote certification at their facilities. Coaches guide the certification process by sharing their experiences and knowledge, and motivating other nurses with helpful tools from CCI.
Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are a crucial part of educational product creation and the certification development process. We could not offer the most exceptional credentialing services without the contributions of volunteers’ time, talent and expertise. Should you be chosen to be a volunteer and complete your service, you will receive points toward your next recertification.
Recertifying Your CNOR Credential
The rapid rate of change in the modern perioperative setting requires a conscious effort to maintain competency. The CNOR credential is conferred for a period of five years. To demonstrate your continued dedication to perioperative excellence, you may recertify your credential.
