Perioperative Service Educator
St. Luke's Health, The Woodlands
My name is Donna Hameier, BSN, CNOR I along with my colleagues are submitting an abstract for consideration at the 2023 AORN Conference. I graduated from North Harris Community College with my Associate's Degree in Nursing. I continued my education and acquired my bachelor's degree in nursing at the Chamberlain School of Nursing. My nursing experience is primarily within perioperative services. As a new graduate nurse working in the OR I developed skills as both a scrub nurse and circulating nurse. I quickly advanced to become a member of the cardiovascular team. As a nurse for over 17 years I have continued my career path to include roles as service line coordinator, OR charge nurse for a level II trauma facility, clinical coordinator, and currently the Perioperative Services Educator for three facilities which include OR, endoscopy, SPD and peri-anesthesia units. In 2020 I received the AORN Clinical Nurse Educator Specialty Spotlight Recognition.
