Now in its fourth edition, this classic reference has guided the orientation of thousands of OR nurses since it was first published in 1991.  This respected guide has been updated to reflect changing practice.

The book includes basic competencies for expected performance, lesson plans for classroom activities, outlines for clinical focus days, and performance checklists.   The extensive references have been updated.

As hospitals and ambulatory surgery facilities face an increasing shortage of nurses, many are hiring nurses without OR experience and providing on-site training.  This book is the perfect guide for such training.

The book can be used for orientation of nurses who are experienced in perioperative nursing as well as those who are new to the specialty.
