Coming Up: Perioperative Nurses Week!

Get ready to celebrate Perioperative Nurses Week (PNW) from November 9-15, 2025! This year, we want your help in setting the tone for our celebrations by submitting a theme that truly captures the spirit of perioperative nursing.

We're looking for an inspiring, inclusive, and reflective theme that highlights the dedication, expertise, and care of perioperative nurses nationwide. The member whose theme is selected will receive a $50 Amazon gift card!

How to Participate:
Step 1: Click on the Submission Form link
Step 2: Enter your theme idea.
Step 3: Submit your entry by September 28, 2025, midnight ET.

The winning theme will be announced on October 10, 2025.

But there's more! Following the theme announcement, we'll open a written Abstract Contest. The winner will receive 1 (one) free registration to the 30th ORNAC National Conference, April 21-25, 2027, in Halifax, NS, and their work will be showcased during PNW 2025. More details on the abstract submission contest will follow soon.

Thank you for your ongoing dedication and commitment to perioperative nursing. We can't wait to celebrate with you and unveil the 2025 PNW theme!

Note: Contest is open to current ORNAC members. Please submit only one theme per member. If multiple themes are submitted, only the first submission will be considered.
