Competency & Credentialing Institute (CCI) developed the TrueNorth Award in 2013 to recognize facilities that use certification as a “true north” to guide their perioperative nurses to be lifelong learners, models of competent practice, and advocates for excellence and patient safety. We are excited to announce that the TrueNorth Award program is undergoing an exciting transformation in 2025, with plans to relaunch at the start of June!
Earlier this month, we took a trip to Boston for AORN’s 2025 Surgical Conference & Expo.
