AORN Chapter 1401’s February Meeting: A Night of Learning and Growth

Chapter 1401 had an outstanding February meeting with record attendance and a fantastic speaker, Susie Scott, who shared valuable insights on injury prevention strategies in the OR. The science of positioning is evolving, and with increasing BMI trends and complex equipment setups, safe patient handling is more critical than ever.

A huge thank you to Stryker and Peter Funk for sponsoring this event and supporting our chapter. The discussion on best practices was insightful, emphasizing the importance of protecting both patients and perioperative staff.

I was especially excited to see seven new OR nurses and several recent graduates join us!

Shoutout to Hannah Nicholson for encouraging her colleagues to engage with AORN. Peer-to-peer learning is invaluable, and seeing new nurses recognize the power of professional organizations was truly inspiring.

I left this meeting with a full bucket, motivated by the next generation of OR nurses embracing growth, collaboration, and lifelong learning. Looking forward to more great discussions ahead! #AORN #PerioperativeNursing #InjuryPrevention #ProfessionalGrowth
