CCI is looking to fill a new position that recently became available for a Nurse Manager at our headquarters offices in Denver, CO. Read more about the position, or email Dr. Jim Stobinski if you are interested.

CCI Board President, Joyce Cox, MBA, MSN, CNP, CNOR, CRNFA, OCN, was selected as one of two student commencement speakers at the University of Phoenix graduation that took place on May 18, 2013 in Cincinnati, Ohio. 

Cox completed her MBA with a 4.0 at the Columbus Campus and was asked to audition as a commencement speaker. Encouraged by her husband, she submitted her seven minute speech and was chosen.

"It was the opportunity of a lifetime," said Cox.

Cox was also inducted into the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society last fall. For this honor, she will address AD’s, Bachelor’s Degree students, Master’s and Doctorate students. 

Finally, every biennium, at the Ohio Nurses Association Convention (Oct 2013), inductions into the Dorothy Cornelius Congress occur. Cox was nominated in October, 2011 and selected, thus will be inducted at the upcoming convention in Columbus, Ohio. 

Cox remarked, "I was shocked and honored to be considered, let alone be chosen."

Dorothy Alice Cornelius was executive director of the Ohio Nurses Association from 1957 to 1983, president of the International Council of Nurses from 1973 to 1977, president of the American Nurses Association from 1968 to 1970, and president of the American Journal of Nursing Company – the largest publisher of nursing periodicals in the world – from 1967 to 1968.  She is the only person to have functioned in all of those positions. She believed that one nurse could make a difference, proving it through her own life’s work. 

RN’s chosen for this award must demonstrate the following leadership characteristics:

• Demonstrates the ability to motivate others through mentoring and collegial relationships
• Thinks logically and creatively, analyzes problems and identifies strategies for solutions
• Demonstrates caring attributes
• Functions as an unofficial “Goodwill Ambassador” when patients and families are stressed, frustrated or fearful.

Congratulations, President Cox, on all of your outstanding accomplishments. We are proud to have you leading our Board of Directors.

The purpose of the CNS-CP exam is to provide recognition for those CNS’s serving in an advanced practice perioperative specialty role and to validate perioperative competency at an advanced practice level. The exam will not confer initial licensure as an APRN.

The exam for masters’ prepared CNS’s is in the developmental stages and is expected to have its initial launch March 17 – April 16 at testing centers nationwide. The inaugural testing window comes with a discounted application price of $125.

To bring together the perioperative CNS community for this landmark initiative, CCI will host an exclusive testing location at the 61st Annual Surgical Conference & Expo in Chicago, IL on Monday, March 31, 2014. 

CCI needs the support of the entire perioperative CNS community to launch the exam. Individuals interested in taking the exam are encouraged to review the eligibility requirements and fill out the interest form. To facilitate preparation, CCI has provided the CNS-CP Task and Knowledge Statements. Please contact Julie Mower if you have any further questions regarding the CNS-CP Exam.

CCI is the leading provider of certification, competency assessment and competency-based education to perioperative registered nurses. Established in 1979, CCI provides the CNOR and CRNFA credentials to more than 33,000 registered nurses, making it one of the world’s largest specialty nursing credentialing bodies. With a diversified menu of products and services that includes research, education and assessment modules, CCI is a recognized leader in the credentialing community. For more information visit CCI online.

The Competency and Credentialing Institute (CCI) called on the perioperative community to support certified nurses in their dedication to the profession and to patient safety. To honor these professionals, CCI committed to match all donations made by a certified nurse, or in honor of a certified nurse, to the AORN Foundation up to $10,000 through the month of March.

The community stood up and met the challenge. More than 500 nurses contributed $27,000 to the Match Your Commitment campaign which was matched by CCI for a total of $37,000. The campaign started in 2011 and has raised $95,000 to support educational programs for perioperative nurses and patient safety initiatives. 

CCI is proud to partner with the AORN Foundation to provide support for the organization’s programs including professional development, academic scholarships and learning tools, such as tool kits, webinars, speakers and seminar series. 

Congratulations to the following nurses who received educational scholarships, which were sponsored by CCI and presented by the AORN Foundation:

If you did not receive a copy in the mail, you can view the digital edition of our 2013 Fall Newsletter here. What a great year it has been for perioperative nursing!

Credential Falsification

Holding the CNOR, CRNFA, and CNS-CP credentials is a mark of excellence that perioperative nurses have earned through their hard work and commitment to the highest level of patient care. CCI always intends to protect the integrity and reputation of our credentials and the nurses who hold them. As such, we take credential falsification very seriously.

Here are a couple of common ways a nurse may misrepresent themselves as holding one of our credentials:

• Listing credentials on your resume, business card, or email signature line that you have never held or have let lapse.
• Falsifying a certificate or certification verification record in order to make it seem like you hold a certification that you do not.

In other words, if you’ve never held one of our credentials, or you have let one lapse, do not list them after your name under any circumstances. If you are caught doing so, CCI is required to investigate and take appropriate action. If falsification is determined, consequences could involve:

• Reporting the falsification to the individual’s employer and state board of nursing.
• Imposing a penalty that will not allow the individual to take the certification exam for a certain period of time.

Don’t jeopardize your reputation or career by misrepresenting yourself. If you have any questions, please contact us at 888-257-2667 or info@cc-institute.org.

Congratulations to all the CNORs who became certified for the first time last November.
