Leadership
Is professionalism a priority in your OR?
13
rofessionalism may not be a
concept OR leaders consciously
think about, but they should. As
role models for their staffs, they set
the behavior standards for the OR, and
failure to insist on professionalism can
be damaging.
P
Professionalism is not defined simply
by dress or presentation, says David
A. Wyatt, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, CNOR, vice
president, perioperative enterprise,
Vanderbilt University Hospital, Nashville,
Tennessee. It is also about " keeping
your word, doing the right thing even
if it means taking a harder road, and
being disciplined. "
Wyatt will assume the role of president
of AORN from the role of president
elect on April 1.
He shared his thoughts on professionalism
during the 2019 OR Management
Conference in New Orleans.
Wyatt believes professionalism
all too often is taken for granted, but
nurses are highly respected and trusted
by patients, and they have a responsibility
to promote professionalism.

and OR business leaders who
attended the conference praised its
P
intimate ambiance and high-quality
content. " The breakout sessions were
great overall. Having colleagues speak
to their specific experiences and solutions
to problems we all face was very
valuable, " Shane Doherty, perioperative
services materials manager at Heywood
Hospital
in Gardner, Massachusetts,
told OR Manager.
Those sentiments were echoed by
attendee Shelly Crouse, MNSc, RN,
CCRN, with the University of Arkansas
for Medical Sciences in Little Rock.
What she finds most valuable about
the conference, she says, is " hearing
