40 years ago in the AORN Journal

AORN Journal, Nov, 2004

An author says the most controversial subject for nurses today is the so-called professionalization of nursing. * A column titled "Great moments in surgery" celebrates the discovery of anesthesia from ancient attempts to alleviate pain to the first successful use of ether. * An article provides information about purchasing, using, and maintaining stainless steel instruments.

The author suggests that the best technique for avoiding disease transmission would be to consider all needles disposable. * A preliminary program for the 12th AORN Congress includes education sessions titled "Hyperbaric Chamber-Implications for Future Use," and "Operating Room Nursing is Nursing."
