Description
The AORN Foundation’s CRNFA Certification Grants are part of its professional development support for nurses. The program connects certification-focused assistance with the Foundation’s goals of maintaining nursing competency and ensuring safe, high-quality care. It sits within a broader group of grants supporting nurses’ professional goals, evidence-based knowledge, and competencies.
The AORN Foundation is the charitable arm of the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses and supports the perioperative nursing profession. This opportunity focuses on professional certification development rather than funding a defined research project, with an emphasis on the knowledge and capabilities nurses need to deliver care safely and to a high standard.
