CCI

The demand for surgery continues to increase and we are bringing in large numbers of nurses to the specialty. The work of perioperative nurse preceptors is essential to the future of our profession.

In an increasingly demanding hiring market those now entering nursing, or committing to a specialty such as perioperative nursing, will maximize their opportunities with certification.

On July 1, the Competency and Credentialing Institute (CCI) will launch a new credential, Certified Foundational Perioperative Nurse (CFPN).

The Competency and Credentialing Institute Research Foundation (CCIRF) administers the Perceived Value of Certification Tool (PVCT) survey instrument designed to measure the perception of the value of certification.

In July of this year, CCI will launch a new credential, Certified Foundational Perioperative Nurse (CFPN). Reflective learning will be integral for nurses earning this credential.

As the CEO of CCI, I often interact with perioperative nurses about their professional development needs.
