I frequently attend nursing conferences, including AORN, OR Manager, and AORN Chapter Conferences. This year, the conference was approved for Nursing, Surgical Tech, AND Sterile Processing CEs! I wish we had more of these programs out there to expose nursing students to the operating room. They are so much fun!
