DENVER -- The Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) Foundation is offering grants for nursing students, staff nurses, and OR managers to attend AORN's 52nd annual Congress in New Orleans.

The AORN Foundation and its Board of Trustees would like to express our gratitude to these companies and organizations for their continued support of perioperative nursing. 2004 Congress grant winners are ineligible to apply for these grants.

The AORN Exhibitors' Advisory Committee (EAC) is pleased to be supporting AORN members by providing grants to help defray the cost of attending the 2005 AORN Congress. OR managers and staff nurses who are AORN members, along with nursing students who are in their perioperative rotation at a surgical facility, are eligible to apply for these grants.
