Abstract:
The authors developed a collaborative perioperative elective course between the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Louisville, and Indiana University Southeast, New Albany. The course is for students studying for bachelor of science degrees in nursing and is offered as a four-hour elective. The course allows nursing students to participate more in surgical procedures; learn the proper use, care, and cleaning of surgical instruments; and learn nursing theory. Students' and staff members' responses have been favorable.
