AORN is a nonprofit professional association headquartered in Denver that represents more than 160,000 perioperative nurses. It supports the perioperative field by delivering education, standards, and clinical practice resources, including the peer‑reviewed AORN Journal, to help ensure safe procedures and optimal patient outcomes. The organization conducts research and disseminates evidence‑based recommendations to define and advance best nursing practices for patients undergoing operative and other invasive procedures. Its registered nurse members work across management, teaching, and practice roles in perioperative care, benefiting from practice support and professional development aligned with AORN’s mission to promote safety and outcomes. The association positions itself within the hospitals and health care industry as a key source of evidence‑based practice and education, aiming to be an indispensable resource for perioperative nursing care. In 2026, AORN entered strategic collaborations with Johnson & Johnson and with Solventum to further its work in supporting perioperative nurses and advancing safe surgery.
