Supporting Nurses Who Make Surgery Safe
Creating lifelong learning opportunities for perioperative nurses is crucial to the future of the profession and the patients they care for every day. The mission of the AORN Foundation is to empower perioperative nurses in advancing patient and workplace safety through education and research.
Contributions directly touch thousands of nurses every year.
Nurses of color can advance their nursing careers with financial support from the Barba Edwards Scholarship through the AORN Foundation: Continuing a Legacy of Service.
