Operate! November 14, 2009

Forget those medical shows on TV. Get the true scoop on surgical tools and techniques from members of the Association of periOperative Room Nurses (AORN). Their fascinating demonstrations will be performed without the use of real patients from 10am–3:30pm. Try your hand at a “seedectomy,” where you’ll have a chance to use keyhole instruments to remove a seed from a pumpkin. AORN’s mission is to support registered nurses and achieve optimal outcomes for patients undergoing operative and other invasive procedures.
