www.cc-institute.org is the website of the body that writes the exam. They do offer a study guide, and that is part of what I used when I took the exam. AORN also offers both self-paced and virtual live review courses. Check with your facility about certification reimbursement- mine will cover up to $600 for exam and review courses. Also check with your unit educator- they may have a copy to loan out. If not, suggest they become a CNOR coach through CCI- they get a free copy of the CCI review book.

However, I saw in another thread you stated you are only a few months in. To take the exam, you must have both 2 years of experience AND 2,000 hours in the periop setting. I would not be purchasing a review book until closer to the time of eligibility. I currently have three different versions of the CCI book, all within the last three years (first edition, revised first edition, and current edition) that are in our education library.

My original post I mistyped so I edited it. I had CNOR (goals) on the brain but I'm in Peri Op 101. Sorry for the confusion!

Ah. The student resources section of the PON101 website has a study guide for each module. Your program administrator should be able to help you find them if you have difficulty.
