Admission Requirements and Fees

Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well-organised, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

List of Courses

OUR PROGRAM

Registered Nurse - Operating Room Perioperative Nursing (Postgraduate) program at George Brown College prepares Registered Nurses to function competently as team members in an operating room. It offers unique clinical experience on a full-time basis.

The program is organized in two phases. Phase I consists of six weeks of theory, including:

• adherence to ORNAC standards
• relevant anatomy
• principles of asepsis
• duties of the scrub and circulating nurses
• intensive study of surgical interventions, their indications and complications
• laboratory practice

Phase II is an 8-to-10-week practicum. During this time, students rotate through several services (e.g. General Surgery, Gynecology, Urology, ENT, Orthopedics, Plastics, Ophthalmology). A major essay on a selected surgical topic is required during practicum.

Clinical experiences are scheduled in major Toronto hospitals, or outside the GTA in special circumstances.

Note: Students must meet all medical and legal requirements for this program outlined on the Pre-Placement Health Form. This may take 6 to 8 weeks. To see those requirements go to www.georgebrown.ca/preplacement.
