Take Advantage of Three Powerful Search Engines
The award-winning, peer-reviewed AORN Journal offers articles on perioperative practice, dating back to the first issue in 1963. Anyone can search the Journal, but only members can enjoy free, full-text access to all search results.
AORN members may benefit from our affiliate membership with the American Nurses Association by searching CINAHL, a database of citations (not full-text articles) of articles published in more than 1,000 nursing and allied health journals.
AORN members may also search MEDLINE/PubMed, the National Library of Medicine's database of citations from more than 5,000 medical and bioscience journals. Information about charges for full-text articles is available on an article-by-article basis.

Literature Searches
AORN members receive three free literature searches per year. Every search thereafter is $50. Non-members must pay $120 for each search.
Submit reference questions or literature search requests:
- by email
- by phone: 800-755-2676
8 am to 4:30 pm, MST, Monday through Friday
Search results include references and abstracts only; copyright restrictions prohibit sending articles.
