1077 - Creating a Comprehensive Experience for our Periop 101 Nurses

Overview/Abstract: For over a decade, our facility has integrated AORN's Periop 101: A Core Curriculum with our own Periop 101 orientation program. In the past two years, we have concentrated efforts on redesigning and enhancing the program by appointing a dedicated person to serve as the systemwide coordinator while collaborating with the educators at each campus. We will delve into three key areas: methods in which we tailor the program to the individual learner, the incorporation of technology through preceptor feedback QR codes, and making the program engaging and enjoyable through the implementation of gamification techniques and team building activities. These initiatives have improved our P101 RN retention rates and fostered the development of comfortable and confident new circulators. We are proud of the strides made in enhancing our program and look forward to sharing our successes.
