Welcome to the website of the Operating Room Nurses Association of Canada, or as we are best known, ORNAC. Since 1997, we have enjoyed numerous visitors, especially periop folks, surfing around our site. With another new redesign we offer a brand new look with some familiar information and an abundance of new information and features. Our new Forum is now a place for nurses across Canada to come and discuss our practice. Meet our Board and Executive and learn a bit about them. Keep up-to-date with an easy to use calendar of events, and stay informed on ORNAC happenings with our News area. Looking for something in particular? Try our new search feature, located conveniently on the top of every page. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact us!
