Periop Community

AORN’s Member Mentor Program is a members-only benefit designed to initiate career-long connections to help nurture professional and personal development—and success—for every participant.

AORN is seeking subject matter experts (SMEs) in a variety of perioperative subject areas to help develop educational publications, webinars, video and other learning tools for members.

AORN Specialty Assemblies are member-run, online groups offering members the opportunity to virtually interact with other nurses from across the nation who share an interest in the same specialty.

AORN honors outstanding perioperative nurses through a comprehensive and well-recognized awards program, both for individuals and chapters.

As part of a member-driven and mission-driven organization, we depend on the commitment of our member volunteers to keep the growth and success of our Association strong.

AORN currently has 30 state councils that maintain standalone websites, ORNurseLink, and others that do not maintain a presence on the web.

Any state can form a state council. A state council can also choose to be an affiliate of AORN within the formal AORN structure. Each affiliate state council must follow the mission and core values of AORN.
