AORN’s Member Mentor Program is a members-only benefit designed to initiate career-long connections to help nurture professional and personal development—and success—for every participant. Those who are new to the profession bring renewed energy to the specialty while members with rich knowledge in clinical practice and career opportunities can guide the next generation of OR nurses.
We recommend that program participants connect with only one person at a time in order to get the most out of the experience and partnership. Must be a member to participate.

“Being able to connect with someone who had such a wide range of experience and successes was very interesting and the resources and connections my mentor was able to provide were invaluable.”
“Being a mentor reminded me what it was like to be lost and defeated. Being able to share my experiences with them and provide any comfort that it will get better inspired me to try a mentorship with new grads at my hospital.”
