As an integral member of our Magnet Nursing team, your focus will be - the delivery of the world's best patient care! Working in an evidence-based Nursing environment that commands excellence every day, you will learn to provide comprehensive nursing care to our patients in the Operating Room setting.
The Hospital for Special Surgery Perioperative Nurse Fellowship Program is for experienced nurses transitioning to practice as the operating room RN. The Hospital for Special Surgery Peri-Operative Nurse Fellowship Program was awarded Accreditation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s for the Practice Transitions Program (PTAP). The program utilizes evidence-based practices to best onboard new-to-the-operating room RNs into the organization.
The program runs for twelve months in length and includes a course designed by the Association of Perioperative Registered Nurses (AORN), called Periop 101. Fellows also train in a mock Operating Room using simulation to build core skills. Clinical orientation lasts six months and adjusts to each learner’s needs. Fellows rotate through all orthopedic subspecialties and learn both scrub and circulating roles. The goal is full clinical competency across the patient population.
The Perioperative Clinical Education Specialists and the Fellowship Program Coordinator oversee the clinical orientation process. Frequent check-ins with the fellow, preceptor, clinical education specialists serve to evaluate effective transition and progress throughout the program.
RNs that are hired into the cohort are required to meet throughout the year long program. Each meeting will include 1) knowledge building educational component, 2) “shared experience” component and 3) mentorship component, 4) wellness component, 5) assignments and/or project component. Regularly scheduled meetings provide a supportive environment, which allows RNs to gain confidence in their abilities to cope with the day-to-day challenges of their transition to perioperative nursing practice, and are a requirement of the program.
