New membership program offers rewards to facilities

AORN Journal, Sept, 2006

AORN is offering a new way to create an environment of practice excellence with the AORN facility package. This facility-based membership program is designed to help facilities and surgery centers improve patient safety by making a commitment to improving staff-member competency levels and providing support for continuing education. AORN's facility package will help your facility

* strengthen professional development by providing resources to improve staff-member competencies, education, certification, and networking opportunities;

* strengthen recruitment and retention by creating an environment that offers professional benefits and growth opportunities to attract and retain quality staff members; and

* strengthen community confidence by making a strong statement to patients, staff members, and the community about your facility's commitment to providing quality care.

Your facility will receive group rates on AORN memberships; savings on CNOR certification and recertification provided by the Competency & Credentialing Institute; and discounts on AORN meetings, periodicals, Home Studies, and continuing education and educational activities. In addition, you will earn coupons for AORN products and services for every 20 memberships your facility purchases. For pricing or more information, send an e-mail to facilities@aorn.org or call (800) 755-2676 x 373.
