Background:

  • Many nursing graduates enter the workforce with insufficient perioperative experience.
  • Employers often need to provide extensive on-the-job training for new nurses in the operating room (OR).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the need for enhanced perioperative training in nursing curricula.
  • To emphasize the benefits of incorporating OR culture and practical skills into nursing education.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current nursing graduate preparedness for perioperative roles.
  • Analysis of the impact of specialized perioperative courses on new nurse integration.

Main Results:

  • Perioperative courses provide a structured introduction to the OR environment.
  • These courses facilitate a smoother transition from academic settings to clinical nursing practice.

Conclusions:

  • Nursing programs should update curricula to include meaningful perioperative experiences.
  • Enhanced educational preparation can attract high-caliber students and improve workforce readiness.
