Upload a Document

The OR Nurse Link Resource Center is the global library for sharing documents and files with other AORN Members.

Resource Center in Main Navigation

Please note that only AORN Members have access to downloading and uploading documents in the Resource Center.

Document Titles
It's important to note that the document titles on OR Nurse Link are pulled from the document's file name.

So before you upload your document to the site, be sure the document's file name is how you'd like the document titled on the site.

For the example above, the file name for the Word document was
2009 2010 WTS Form.doc so the document's title on the site is 2009 2010 WTS Form.

If you've uploaded your document already, and you want to edit the title of the document, you'll need to delete the document (how to delete a document), rename your file, and then upload again to the site with the new file name.

Upload Your Document
Click on the Add New Document link at the bottom of the Resource Center document directory.

Upload a Document

Just about any type of document file is acceptible to upload -- PDFs, Word Documents, PowerPoint Presentations, Pages files, etc. The maximum file size is 5MB, which should be sufficient for most files.

Click Browse to find and choose the file on your computer.

Browsing for the document

Add optional comments to your document and click OK.

You will then be taken to a page on which you can add a title, more comments, and also choose a document category for your file.

The Resource Center is broken out into ten different topics: Ambulatory, Aseptic/Sterilization/Disinfection, Career Resources, Education/Staff Development, Equipment/Instruments/Product Safety, IT/Informatics, Management, Patient & Worker Safety, Patient Care, and Regulatory/Legal Issues.

Please note that once you've uploaded your document, you cannot change the Name field (which is the document file name). If you need to change the file name of your document, you'll need to do that before you upload it to OR Nurse Link.

Choose a category in the Resource Center Categories pull-down menu, and then also check a box in the Resource Document Category.

Adding a Category

When you're done, click Check In and your document will now be added to the Resource Center.
