Periop 101 Administrator Feedback

left-quote-transparent-grn2.pngWhat’s helpful is the structure of the program. It offers a blended learning environment. I can use videos to go along with the modules, discuss, then plan for some hands-on learning in the skills lab, practice on mannequins. I can have people come in and give lectures other than myself. The flexibility of the program as well as the structure is helpful.
—  Suzanne Ballin, BSN, RN, CNOR, Perioperative Clinical Development Specialist

left-quote-transparent-grn2.pngWhat I like is that they’re told about the ’why’ – why we do the things we do – and they have it as a resource. And if they need to review it, they have it as a reference that they can go back to. I love the idea that they’re already embedded in [AORN] with the Journal, they get the membership. So, they’re embraced by our specialty right from the gate…it sets them up for their CNOR certification as soon as they’re eligible.
