Addressing the increasing shortage of perioperative nurses requires innovative educational strategies. A private university and a teaching hospital with an academic-service partnership collaborated to offer an educational perioperative nursing experience to baccalaureate nursing students to increase student interest in the perioperative nursing specialty. The university offered an elective summer practicum to baccalaureate nursing students between their junior and senior years. After completing the practicum, students had the opportunity to complete their senior-year clinical rotations in the OR. Continuous evaluation contributed to refining the design and implementation of the perioperative nursing practicum. The challenges of the program included cost, demands on staff members' time, and timing of the practicum relative to student and hospital needs. The practicum has been offered for three summers, and a total of six students have enrolled and participated in this program.
解决不断增加的围手术期护士短缺问题需要创新的教育策略。一所私立大学和一家教学医院建立了学术服务伙伴关系，为护理学士学生提供围手术期护理教育体验，以增加学生对围手术期护理专业的兴趣。该大学在护理学士学生大三和大四之间的暑假为他们提供了一个选修实习。实习结束后，学生有机会在手术室完成他们大四的临床轮转。持续的评估有助于完善围手术期护理实习的设计和实施。该项目面临的挑战包括成本、对工作人员时间的要求以及实习相对于学生和医院需求的时间安排。该实习已经举办了三个暑假，共有六名学生报名并参加了该项目。
