Trinitas Regional Medical Center, an RWJBarnabas Health facility, earned the 2024 CNOR Strong designation representing a facility-wide commitment to nursing excellence and outstanding patient care. The Certified Perioperative Nurse (CNOR®) credential given by the Competency & Credentialing Institute (CCI) validates specialized knowledge in perioperative nursing who have mastered the standards of perioperative practice that correlates to improved outcomes in surgical patients. The CNOR credential is the only accredited certification for perioperative registered nurses. CNOR certification is active for five years and then must be renewed through either continuing education credits or points accrued from enrollment in a nursing school program.
“This certification is our gold medal,” says Hisham Santiago, DNP, MBA, RN, CNOR, Assistant Vice President of Perioperative and Invasive Services. “My team feels really good about the fact that they have been validated that they have the resources, the skills and everything it takes to provide the best care for our patients. We all very proud of this designation.”
