Perioperative Nursing

Perioperative nursing is a nursing specialty in which nurses work with patients who are having operative or other invasive procedures. Perioperative nurses work closely with surgeons, anaesthesiologists, surgical technologists, and nurse practitioners in a variety of perioperative settings, which can include hospital and non-hospital surgical suites, interventional radiology rooms, and ambulatory care clinics. This program will support Registered Nurses (RNs) and Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs) in building the necessary knowledge and expertise to care for clients in perioperative settings. The program includes four theory courses designed to provide a theoretical knowledge base in perioperative nursing, followed by a field placement where students will apply the concepts learned throughout the program.
