Ascension Library Services is pleased to be able to provide access to this tool, but we don't "own" it.  We partnered with Ascension Nursing CPD to include it on the AW Library website.  As such, Library Services can provide only limited support for this tool.

If you have any questions or issues with access, please contact Ryan Woods, Sr Operations Support Specialist  skoon@aorn.org.   You can also contact AORN directly at cs@aorn.org or 1-800-755-2676.
