Perioperative nursing. Designing, implementing a baccalaureate elective.
The clinical faculty of the affiliated teaching hospitals felt the initial course offering was beneficial to students and institutions alike. The course served as a foundation for the students' entry into perioperative nursing practice, and served to shorten the amount of time institutions invest in orientation. In conclusion, we recognize the importance of offering a perioperative nursing educational opportunity at the baccalaureate level. With increased student interest, we are looking forward to continuing the course and implementing the refinements as recommended.
