Claire R. Everson RN CNOR

Claire R Everson RN CNOR graduated from Henry Ford Hospital School of Nursing in Detroit, Michigan in 1973. After some time in Adult Acute Care and Labor and Delivery, she found her true advocacy calling in PeriOperative Nursing in 1980.

Claire has been a PeriOperative Educator since 1985 and was one of the founders of the Nurse Educator/Clinical Nurse Specialists Specialty Nurses (AORN). She is also on an Advisory Council working towards starting a Specialty Assembly for PeriOperative Registered Nurses interested in Complementary Therapies.

While in Labor and Delivery, Claire was a Childbirth Educator. During this time she empowered her patients/clients to have as much control as possible over their experience with emphasis on breathing and relaxation techniques as well as visual imagery. She taught that touch was critical in this process. Prior to her call to clinical education, Clarie started an Open Heart Program and was involved in Multiple Clinical Specialities.

Her proudest statement is that she is a Breast Cancer Survivor, and she gives credit to the techniques she learned in the Aromatherapy for Health Professionals course for easing her progress through Chemo and Radiation Therapy.

She became an R J BUCKLE ASSOCIATES Certified Clinical Aromatherapy Practitioner in January 2000, a beneficiary of a grant from Banner Health System. In November 2000, Clair was invited to the Instructor's Course and then returned to Arizona to put together a PeriOperative Nursing Course from scratch.

Claire's belief in this nursing modality is great, from both personal and professional experience. She is committed to this program and is willing to travel to teach the course.
