Using meaningful recognition in the OR is a low cost, high impact means of improving nurse satisfaction and nurse turnover in the OR. With an increasing demand for experienced OR nurses, it is critical to engage and keep these skilled nurses. One organization will share their experience, their strategies, and the impact on the OR nurses and staff within the intraoperative care environment.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe how the use of meaningful recognition can improve nurse satisfaction of OR nurses.
• Describe the application of meaningful recognition to their own practice environment.
