Implementing a perioperative nursing elective in a baccalaureate curriculum

Abstract:
Perioperative nursing units are experiencing a critical shortage of trained RNs, and new nursing school graduates are unlikely to enter this specialty unless they have had experience in a perioperative environment during their clinical rotations. In cooperation with a local hospital, a school of nursing developed a perioperative elective with a clinical component. The perioperative elective has received strong support from faculty members and hospital staff members, and students believe they have enhanced their individual clinical experience through participation in this course.
