The on-boarding/orientation of an experienced perioperative RN can be a challenging process for the orientation provider and personnel involved in hiring experienced perioperative RNs in various practice settings, specifically for new hires. This learning activity will help identify gaps in knowledge of the current perioperative guidelines related to perioperative clinical scenarios. The feedback gained from the assessment will assist in planning an individualized orientation for an experienced perioperative RN. Learners may also benefit from this assessment when preparing for CNOR certification to help identify knowledge gaps in the current AORN guidelines.
