A perioperative immersion clinical for nurses pursuing a bachelor of science degree has gotten off to a good start in Wisconsin. Launched in 2012, the program matches students with preceptors during the final semester of their senior year. Students complete 252 clinical hours and the entire AORN Peri-Op 101 curriculum, which positions them to graduate with more comprehensive OR education and experience than students coming from more traditional programs, says Sharon Chappy, PhD, RN, CNOR, post-licensure programs director at the University of Wisconsin (UW) Oshkosh.
