Practicing and applying the principles of sterile technique is a cornerstone of perioperative nursing and providing safe patient care. The recently updated AORN \"Guideline for sterile technique\" provides perioperative nurses with information on the principles of and processes associated with sterile technique. This article provides an overview of the guideline and discusses recommendations for actions to take before preparing the sterile field, while preparing and maintaining the sterile field, for limiting movement, for surgical wound classification, and for quality. It also includes a scenario describing the implementation of isolation technique (ie, clean closure) for colon procedures. Perioperative nurses should review the guideline in its entirety and apply the recommendations when practicing sterile technique.</p>","PeriodicalId":54317,"journal":{"name":"Aorn Journal","volume":"120 4","pages":"238-247"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142332374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple factors, including a lack of exposure to the perioperative nursing specialty during baccalaureate nursing programs, influence the number of applicants for open perioperative positions. In 2018, we formed a collaborative academic-practice partnership to address this critical gap at our facility. We created an interactive learning program that included a scenario in a fully equipped OR simulation suite to provide nursing students with exposure to the perioperative setting. Students who participated in the experience reported that they appreciated exposure to an OR environment and engaging with perioperative personnel. Additionally, there was an increase in the number of nurse externship applications and students who were interested in completing their capstone experience in perioperative settings at our health care system. These positive outcomes illustrate that an effective collaboration between academic and clinical practice leaders can increase nursing students' interest in perioperative nursing.</p>","PeriodicalId":54317,"journal":{"name":"Aorn Journal","volume":"120 4","pages":"206-213"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142332380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
