Spotlight on Education
Introducing The Stitch—an E-zine for New Periop Nurses
The Stitch is brief, practical, and interactive with polls, videos, and games. It features clinical and professional tips, bite-sized learning and advice—an essential companion for the first few years of perioperative practice.
Using evidence-based guidelines, AORN defines the standards that help keep healthcare workers and surgical patients safe – while also providing education and resources to support high-quality care.
AORN Governance
A 12-member Board of Directors, chosen from and elected by the membership, are responsible for the strategic vision and financial sustainability of AORN.
Members have the opportunity to serve on national committees that shape and influence the perioperative profession.
