Perioperative nurses are the unsung heroes of the surgical suite. You work tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of your patients at all times, whether that be in or outside of the operating room! In honor of the holiday season, we'd like to take this opportunity to highlight some of the many reasons we are thankful for you–the perioperative nurses in our lives!
After careful review and consideration, CCI has decided to streamline the Certified Foundational Perioperative Nurse (CFPN®) credential by removing all components outside of the Knowledge-Based Test. CCI has also added an extension year for individuals to remain as active CFPN® certificants while pursuing our other credentials. These changes will go into effect on November 9, 2023. While we have removed these components, CCI upholds the highest standards of excellence in perioperative nursing and maintains CFPN® as an accredited and reputable credential. In this post, we will clarify the details regarding such updates.
