Expand your nursing role with School of Nursing's RN First Assistant program!
The RN First Assistant program prepares CNORs (Certified Nurse-Operating Room) to take on an expanded role and empowers APRNs (Advanced Practice Registered Nurses) to follow their surgical patients throughout the perioperative experience. Throughout a five-week intensive course of interactive online learning activities, a day of hands-on learning and simulation, and a 200-hour clinical internship, discover how to expand the impact of your nursing practice and improve patient care. Applications for Summer 2024 are due March 15. Learn more about the program and application process at a virtual open house, Wednesday, Feb. 21 from 1-2 p.m. Register online.
