Demonstrate knowledge of the advanced surgical techniques and accompanying technology that facilitate perioperative nursing care. The job market for perioperative nurses is excellent across the entire United States. According to a survey conducted in the fall of 1998 by the American Organization of Nurse Executives, and reported in the May 1999 issue of OR Manager , it takes an average of 90 days to fill a perioperative nursing vacancy. Our experience with outstanding students in the program has demonstrated that years of Med-Surg experience is not a guaranteed predictor of success in perioperative nursing. We welcome applications from nurses with a variety of backgrounds.
