Long Beach Memorial & Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach Stay CNOR® Strong for Second Consecutive Year

LONG BEACH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Long Beach Memorial and Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach
have earned the CNOR® Strong designation from
the Competency & Credentialing Institute (CCI) for the second
consecutive year. The CNOR® Strong designation
is given to hospitals and medical centers having at least 50 percent of
its operating room nursing staff CNOR® certified, and
provides programs that reward and recognize its certified nurses.

The CNOR® certification program is for perioperative nurses
interested in improving and validating their knowledge and skills, while
providing the highest quality of care to their patients. It is an
objective, measurable way of acknowledging the achievement of specialty
knowledge beyond basic nursing preparation and RN licensure.

“It is an honor to be certified as CNOR® Strong
once, but for two years in a row, it is an even greater achievement,”
says Marian McCann, RN, CNOR®, CSSM, director, perioperative
services, operating rooms, GI Lab, SPD, pre-operative care, Long Beach
Memorial and Miller Children’s. “We strive to continue to be CNOR®
Strong
for many years to come by taking steps to prepare our nurses
for CNOR® certification and recertification.”

Long Beach Memorial and Miller Children’s provide resources such as
study guides and practice tests for perioperative nurses to ensure
success when the time comes to take the CNOR® certification
exam. In addition, experienced nurses often team up to provide support
for those working to become CNOR® certified by helping them
study for the exam. These efforts aided in the hospitals’ second
consecutive CNOR® Strong designation.

Research shows that nurses who earn the CNOR® credential have
greater confidence in their clinical practice. Thus, a team of certified
nurses who have mastered the standards of perioperative practice
provides even more empowerment – further advancing a culture of
professionalism and promoting improved patient outcomes.

Patient safety and positive surgical outcomes are of the utmost
importance to a hospital, and supporting nurses as they exceed
expectations to achieve their perioperative nursing certification shows
Long Beach Memorial and Miller Children’s commitment to providing
specialized long-term care to patients.
