Perioperative Nursing Advanced Technical Certificate Program

The Advanced Technical Certificate in Perioperative Nursing is designed for the registered nurse who has no previous experience in the Operating Room. After earning this certificate, the nurse is prepared to practice independently at the beginning level in a perioperative position. Course content includes knowledge and skills required to provide care to patients having surgical intervention during the perioperative, intraoperative, and postoperative periods. Emphasis will be placed on performing those functions directly related to scrubbing and circulating for selected surgical procedures.
