Introduction to Perioperative Nursing

Charter Oak State College, the Connecticut League for Nursing (CLN), the Connecticut Hospital Association (CHA) and the Connecticut Office of Workforce Competitiveness collaborated together to develop this online course. It is designed to meet the needs of hospitals statewide for access to a flexible and cost effective vehicle to prepare new RN recruits to the perioperative nursing specialty with the knowledge and skills necessary for beginning practice in the intraoperative phase of care.

Hospital-based laboratory experiences are integrated throughout the online lessons of the course to provide hands-on experience in mastering the skills necessary to function in scrub and circulating roles in the operating room. The course will equip the participants to enter a structured precepted orientation program in their employing institutions, and upon its completion, into practice as an operating room staff nurse. To be eligible to participate students must:

  • be an employee in the operating room of a participating hospital, and
  • be recommended by their employer to participate in the course
