The Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) Announces Legislative Priorities for 2011

Last week the AORN announced their legislative priorities for 2011. Included in these priorities was further expanding the scope of practice on RNs by necessitating a circulating role throughout every surgical procedure conducted in an operating room.

The AORN's legislative priorities expanded upon the reccomendations made by the Future of Nursing committee's report: "The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health" and even cite the report itself in their press release.
