Involvement in the organization can bedemonstrated in the perioperative setting as nurses
participate on governance councils or on other
committees that address practice issues. At times,
perioperative nurses may feel that they are separate
from other areas of the hospital because they
practice in a fairly restricted environment. The more
that perioperative nurses become involved in the
organization as a whole, however, the more informed
they will be and the more they can increase
the understanding of others in the organization
about the role and function of perioperative nurses.
