ment to providing safe, quality care. Currently in the OR at one of the hospitals, 30% of RNs hold CNOR certification and 36% have either a bache¬lor's or master's degree in nursing. We celebrate CNOR certification and provide educational op¬portunities for maintaining certification. Hospital administrators allocate funds for local and na¬tional professional conference attendance. We call the department's educational fund the fund for Seminars and Conferences for OR Education (SCORE) and define the guidelines for the alloca¬tion of these education funds. The members of the professional educational council and the shared governance council in collaboration with the leadership team created the SCORE guidelines to provide for fair and equitable distribution of the funds and foster dissemination of information to peers.
