You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==History==
The first groups of organized OR nurses were concerned with many of the same issues AORN and the profession of OR nursing face today, including standardizing OR techniques and education programs and promoting friendship among OR nurses. Between 1916 and 1949, several OR nursing groups formed in various parts of the United States, leading to the formal recognition of AORN as a national association. Major milestones in the association's history include:
* The first national conference in 1954
* The establishment of a constitution, bylaws, and national officers, the AORN Board of Directors
* The establishment of the ''[[AORN Journal]]'' in 1963
* Standards for Administrative and Clinical Practice in the Operating Room, now called ''Perioperative Standards and Recommended Practices'', a booklet first published in 1965

AORN is also involved in efforts that advance perioperative professionals and their profession. These activities include:
* Offering educational opportunities that specifically address the perioperative setting
* Setting standards for perioperative care and demonstrating how best practices can be implemented in the day-to-day work environment
* Facilitating a community of perioperative professionals that enables sharing of best practices
* Creating awareness and celebrating the value and skills of the perioperative nurse
* Empowering perioperative registered nurses to engage in efforts to shape legislative and health policy issues
* Securing resources to enable advancements in education and research in perioperative surgical care

==AORN Surgical Conference & Exposition==
The AORN Surgical Conference & Exposition is the largest education and networking conference of perioperative nurse professionals in the world, and the largest surgical products trade show in the US.<ref name="q&a">((cite web |title=Q&A with AORN's Rosemarie Schroeder |url=https://www.dotmed.com/news/story/22922?p_begin=2 |website=dotmed.com |accessdate=4 September 2018))</ref> To date there have been a total of 62 Congresses dating back to 1954.<ref name="q&a" />

== Perioperative Nurse Week ==
In 1979, the AORN approved a resolution to promote [[consumer education]] and enhance public knowledge of perioperative nurse.<ref name="nurse week">((cite web |title=Perioperative Nurse Week— a time to celebrate |url=https://www.nursingcenter.com/journalarticle?Article_ID=941357&Journal_ID=682710&Issue_ID=941333 |website=www.nursingcenter.com |accessdate=4 September 2018))</ref> November 14 was designated as OR Nurse Day, later it expanded to a week. Since 1979 individual members, AORN chapters, hospitals, and other medical facilities have organized special events and utilized other forms of publicity to help educate the public about the diverse roles performed by perioperative registered nurses.<ref name="nurse week" /> In 2000, OR Nurse Week was renamed to Perioperative Nurse Week to broaden the term. It always occurs in the second week of November.

== Collaboration with Mercy Ships ==
At the 56th annual entered into a partnership with [[Mercy Ships]], a leading non-profit in providing free healthcare in the third world, in an effort to boost the health care accessibility and opportunities for international collaborations.<ref>((cite web |url=https://www.prweb.com/releases/2009/03/prweb2261094.htm |title=AORN and Mercy Ships Collaborate to Increase Patient Care Aboard Hospital Ships |last=Rick|first=Pauline|publisher=Cision |date=March 24, 2009 |website=Cision PRWeb |access-date=September 10, 2018))</ref>
