AORN Position Statement
“The APRN functioning in the perioperative setting
is a registered professional nurse who:
– is competent in the use of specialized perioperative nursing
knowledge and skills in the care of patients and families
undergoing operative and other invasive procedures…;
– functions autonomously and collaboratively with the surgeon in
the preoperative and postoperative management of surgical
patients and their complex responses to the surgical process…;
– integrates clinical practice, education, research, management,
leadership, and consultation into a single but multifaceted role...;
– continually functions in a collegial relationship with nurses,
physicians, health care organizations, and systems to influence
care of the surgical patient.”

(AORN, 2013, pp. 299-300)
