Education Strengthens Workforce Stability

Hospitals that invest in structured training and career development see measurable improvements in retention and morale with significant boosts to overall operating room productivity.

"Education paired with professional growth is one of the strongest predictors of long-term workforce stability."
Human Resources for Health Journal, 2023

"It is important for nurse leaders to employ interventions for recruiting and retaining OR nurses, particularly in specialty service lines, including cardiovascular surgery...Nurses were able to gain confidence and learn new skills. The CVOR Periop 202 program may help new nurses work in the CVOR with increased self-efficacy to function on the CVOR team and increased knowledge to care for open-heart surgery patients."
AORN Journal, 2021
