This hands-on session is designed with two goals in mind. First, it will provide an in-depth review of the reprocessing procedure according to SGNA position statements and guidelines. Second, it will provide resources for the nurse manager that will be helpful in the development and delivery of the reprocessing competency.

Section Description

We are pleased to present the abstracts from SGNA's 34th Annual Course, Charting a Course for Professional Growth. The diversity of these topics certainly reflects the richness and breadth of our specialty. In keeping with the tradition of the Annual Course, we hope the following abstracts will encourage discussions for improving nursing practice and patient care outcomes.
