Taking Action: AORN and
HealthStream Work Together to
Help Hospitals Attract Top Talent
AORN is taking critical steps to help hospitals attract, develop, and
retain OR nurses, including collaborating with the Versant RN Residency
program to implement AORN’s standardized education. Moreover,
AORN is reaching out to schools of nursing to address the lack of
exposure to the area. “ [Our] online modules… can be incorporated
into nursing curricula to offer some of the fundamentals of perioperative
nursing to students early in their programs,” says Root. “The
perioperative setting is an area where there is tremendous emphasis on
patient safety, opportunities to explore human factors, and
communication theories.”
AORN provides Periop 101: A Core Curriculum™, an evidence-based,
standardized curriculum available through HealthStream, that helps
organizations recruit and retain perioperative nurses, support optimal
outcomes for patients, and increase staff and physician satisfaction.
AORN also has established the Center for Nursing Leadership, a
division that provides resources to support perioperative nurse leaders’
and emerging leaders’ education needs.
