Dear Chicago AORN Chapter,

As we discussed in our meeting, I wanted to formally notify you that our next chapter meeting will be held on April 2.

We’re excited to have a sponsor for this session, and the discussion will focus on the impact of OR design on nurses' well-being.

For this meeting, we’ll be conducting a Journal Club discussion on a recent OR design study, exploring how the physical environment influences perioperative nursing. I’ve prepared a few discussion questions to guide the conversation, and the article is attached for your review. I will share details later in the flyer. 

Here is the link to the article:

Improving the Mental Health of Surgical Teams Through Operating Room Design - Yeinn Oh, Simon Gill, Daehwa Baek, Alexandra Watral, Bridget Pulos, Bettina Thompson, Suzanne Young, Jean M Guyer, Jessica McCoy, Meshach Phillips, Kenneth Potts, Lindsey Evenson, Lisa Lim, Renaldo Blocker, 2024

I’m looking forward to a great session and meaningful dialogue—especially as we gear up for Congress!

Thank you all for your engagement and support.
