Deadline approaches for OR Manager Award nominations

Editor's Note

What better way to advocate for perioperative nursing than spotlighting and celebrating exceptional leadership at a gathering of the entire industry? Our annual OR Manager Awards—OR Manager of the Year, PACU Leader of the Year, and Ambulatory Nurse Leader of the Year—aim to do just that, but time is running out. Consider spending just a few minutes to nominate an inspiring leader you know by this noon this Friday, July 15.

These prestigious accolades celebrate visionaries in each of these three subject areas, recognizing their monumental roles in enhancing patient care, fostering innovation, and steering toward excellence amid the numerous challenges of the modern surgical suite. We’ll celebrate their achievements and in an award ceremony on October 30, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, during the 2024 OR Manager Conference.

As revealed by stories of last years’ inspiring winners, these awards are testaments to the importance of not just operational success, but also dedication to education, on-the-job mentorship, and adaptation to the ever-evolving healthcare environment.
