Student Nurses Program

Have You Considered an OR Career?

Discover more about the perioperative profession by joining the complementary Student Program at AORN Global Surgical Conference & Expo 2025 on Monday, April 7 in Boston.  You'll learn the ins and outs of being an OR nurse and will get to practice hands-on skills. Student nurses can attend the entire conference at no charge.

Share this opportunity by printing out our Student Program flyer and hanging it up in your classroom or lounge!

Tour the Expo Hall

Following the session, you’ll be invited to tour the Expo Hall where you can:

  • learn about the latest technologies, products, and services for the surgical suite
  • participate in simulation training
  • meet with recruiters from top health systems
  • enjoy a complimentary lunch
  • interact with your fellow student nurses
Student nurses receive free conference registration, and we invite you to attend the entire week!*
