Operating Room Nurse Orientation

The Operating Room Nurse Orientation program provides a learning environment for the registered nurse to apply fundamental skills and knowledge of operating room nursing. This six-month program includes didactic learning, mock practice sessions and a clinical preceptorship in operating room nursing. Student responsibilities include reading assignments, quizzes, tests, successful return demonstrations, maintenance of a learning journal, successful performance in the clinical area and attendance at all classes. This program is a three-credit course offered in conjunction with George Mason University's College of Nursing and Health Sciences in their undergraduate program.
