• Congress 2010

Congress is the annual meeting of AORN. Its purpose is to provide a common time and place for perioperative nurses to earn contact hours, share best practices, and celebrate their profession. This world-class conference features more than 70 education sessions that address the latest clinical, leadership, management, educator, informatics, risk management, research/evidence-based practice, and integrated health issues and the latest trends and developments for perioperative nurses. Education sessions are designed to meet the needs of all practitioners, from novice to expert.

Congress sessions are usually 90 minutes in length. It is possible to submit a Part I and Part II session or an all day session. Please make note of this intent in your overview with your submission.
