Find Groups 

Click on the Find a Group link at the top of any page, which will bring you to OR Nurse Link's Group Directory.

You can also click the Groups tab in the main site navigation to reach the Group Directory.

In the right-hand column of the Group Directory you'll find a Search Group Directory box so you can search by keyword.




The Group Directory is broken out into four different group categories:



Common Interest Groups
Common Interest Groups are composed of AORN committee groups, product-related groups, and any groups that OR Nurse Link members create.



Specialty Assemblies
Specialty Assemblies are formal AORN groups that facilitate national networking of AORN Members interested in a subspecialty or interest area. These groups are open to only AORN Members. To choose or change your Specialty Assembly, contact AORN Customer Service via phone 800-755-2676 ext 1 or by email.



AORN Chapters
The 350 local AORN chapters in the US are the building blocks of the Association. Members are introduced to the activities and opportunities offered by AORN at the local chapter level. Networking, education, and leadership development are just some of the benefits involved at the local chapter level.

When members join AORN, they can select the chapter of their choice; however, if they do not select a specific chapter, one close to the member's home address is automatically assigned.

Members can select a different chapter if their personal needs call for an adjustment by calling AORN Customer Service at 800-755-2676, Ext 1.



State Councils
State councils are formed to focus on legislative issues pertinent to nurses. They provide a mechanism whereby nurses may gather for discussion, advice, and consultation regarding issues in their respective states. State council members are composed of various local AORN chapters and individual members. Membership in State Council groups on OR Nurse Link is determined by the State Council group owner(s).
