Our Philosophy
The Operating Room Nurses Association of Hamilton and District (ORNAHD) is an organization of professional nurses dedicated to the promotion of excellence in perioperative nursing.
The Association believes that perioperative nursing is a dynamic process guided by theoretical knowledge, ethical principles, research, caring practice and specialized clinical skills. Perioperative nurses respond to complex and changing needs of persons during a crucial period of the surgical experience. The scope of practice is continually evolving as nurses respond to societal and technological changes.
