Perioperative Nursing is a nursing speciality in which nurses are actively working to care for patients before, during and after surgery, in a wide range of clinical settings.

Perioperative Nursing encompasses three different phases: immediate preoperative, intraoperative, and immediate postoperative.

Perioperative nursing practice focuses on patient care education, leadership, research, enhanced and advanced practice (ORNAC Bylaw 1.01 (n)).
