Educating nurses into the perioperative arena.
PROVIDING PERIOPERATIVE experience for those new to the OR is a vital necessity, especially because many nursing schools provide limited OR experiences. AN ALTERNATIVE to a traditional course is a condensed version that incorporates the material for a 10-week course into a two-weekend format that encompasses both didactic and laboratory experiences. RESPONSE TO THIS CONDENSED program has been so positive that it has edged out the 10-week program in the curriculum.
