Can the name, RNFA be changed?
The name, RNFA originated in the U.S.A. and has been utilized for the past two decades. It is a term that most perioperative nurses recognize internationally. ORNAC originally coined the phrase Perioperative Nurse – Surgery (PNS), which people found confusing. The name PNS gave no one any idea of what the role entailed. In order to further the role (name recognition), the term RNFA was adopted by ORNAC in 1999. Reference: Groetzsch, Grace (1998). What’s In A Name? A Canadian RNFA’s Perspective. Canadian Operating Room Nursing Journal 16(1), 29-30.
