 | | Although initially there was no formal recognition of state councils from AORN, this did not deter the councils from organizing or quench members' enthusiasm for reaching out to all perioperative nurses in their respective states on issues pertinent to their work settings. |
 | | More state councils were formed during the 1980s, including the Georgia State Council (GSC), the Operating Room Nursing Council of California (ORNCC), the Indiana Council of Operating Room Nurses, the North Carolina Council of Operating Room Nurses (NCCORN), the Ohio Council of Operating Room Nurses (OCORN), and the Maryland/Washington, DC State Council. |
 | | Other councils that organized in the 1990s included the Oklahoma State Council of Perioperative Nurses, which was organized in 1996 for the purpose of education and networking, and the Oregon State Council of Perioperative Nurses, which was organized in 1997 to provide quality education to a region with many rural hospitals. |
