I took my CNOR last year OCT 2011 and failed... I have been an OR nurse for 15 years and am finishing my RNFA.. i have studied for a whole year... have taken the AORN online CNOR prep course, taken 2 prep courses at 2 different hospitals, purchased all the latest CCI study info , and read the Standards... i take my test on Nov 1st and am deadly afraid of failing again.... it is SO HARD.... i have spent so much time on this...... i hope I can achieve this.... i am not a good test taker.. ;(
