# Get Recognition for Your Facility With CNOR Strong

Research shows that nurses who earn the CNOR credential have greater confidence in their clinical practice, having validated their specialized knowledge in perioperative nursing. Thus, a team of CNOR-certified nurses who have mastered the standards of perioperative practice furthers a culture of professionalism and has been correlated to** [improved outcomes in surgical patients](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25443121)**. At CCI, we call that *CNOR Strong.* Click [HERE](https://info.cc-institute.org/hubfs/CNOR%20Strong/Finalized%20CNOR%20Strong%202026%20Recipient%20List%20Webpage.pdf) to view our 2026 CNOR Strong Award Recipients.
