Making Connections
AORN is expanding its news offerings to help connect you to the information you need in your daily practice
In a world where news and information is constantly changing, AORN needs a way to inform you about breaking news as it happens. That's why AORN Connections now has an online component at aorn.org/news. Look to this Web page for:
- Frequent perioperative news updates
- In-depth coverage of the stories found in your print edition
- Direct links to AORN resources and networking opportunities
You will also notice the print issue of AORN Connections you receive by mail each month has a new look and format with reorganized sections to make it easier for you to find the news you are accustomed to receiving from AORN. These changes have been made to help better connect you to the information you need in your daily practice, including:
- News and Advocacy: breaking news and regulatory, practice and advocacy updates
- From Headquarters and the Board: association news and messages from the Board of Directors
- In Focus: expert perspectives on current perioperative issues
- Specialty Assemblies: news, resources and networking opportunities for nursing specialties
- Members making a difference: spotlight on AORN members who are making a difference
Through surveys and feedback AORN members have taken the time to explain what they need from their AORN news source, and we have listened. The AORN Connections editorial staff hopes you will continue to share your thoughts and suggestions so we can provide you with the news you need. Let us know what you think about the new AORN Connections and tell us how we can better connect you to the perioperative information you need to keep patients safe, improve outcomes and advance your practice.
