“A Valuable Timesaver”

“Periop 101 saves me valuable time and is complete with references and tools for sim lab scenarios to more thoroughly prepare nurses in becoming a periop nurse.”

“Improved Nursing Retention...”

“As an educator, Periop 101 is essential because it delivers high quality, standardized education to the new OR nurse. When a student passes Periop 101, a facility can be confident the student has the necessary perioperative knowledge.”
