Earning our CNOR Strong Award is no small accomplishment. It reflects a powerful commitment to perioperative excellence, a culture that supports certification, and a team dedicated to delivering safe, high-quality patient care. But what comes next? For facilities that have achieved CNOR Strong recognition, the next step is clear: our TrueNorth Award program.

On May 4, 2026, CCI launched a new Certification Management System (CMS) with a modernized design and interface to enhance your experience at every stage of the certification journey. We recognize that any new system can take time to get used to, so we have created a series of tutorial resources on YouTube to support you as you navigate and become familiar with the updated platform.

Nurses with certification hold a compass, guiding them toward phenomenal patient care procedure and nationally accepted standards. Nurses who prioritize certification and the facilities that support them demonstrate a shared commitment to elevate patient outcomes through expertise and the continuous pursuit of knowledge.

We are excited to announce the highly anticipated launch of the CCI online merch store, a project inspired by years of enthusiastic requests from our perioperative community! Our new store offers a range of apparel and accessories to celebrate your periop pride and dedication to patient care. Start exploring our store NOW!
