Karen Hall
RN, BSc, ENB176, RCNT

Karen trained at the Hutt Hospital in the late 1970’s where she commenced her career in the Operating Room.  Karen further enhanced her skills in this area in London at Charing Cross Hospital with an English National Board 1 year course in Operating Department Nursing.  She was then encouraged to attend the Royal College of Nursing – achieving a Certificate in Clinical Nurse Teaching which she applied in the Operating Room and on a surgical floor of 3 wards (Hepatic, Biliary, Breast, General Surgery).

Returning to New Zealand Karen completed a BSc at Victoria University majoring in Physiology.   Along with other appropriate certificates in Accounting, Quality Management, Conflict Resolution, this has provided her with the skill to develop a sound, robust team of skilled Operating Room, PACU, SSD and Inventory staff.

Karen’s commitment to perioperative nursing continues to be exhibited by her involvement in National Conferences, namely:

  • Perioperative Nurses Conferences (PNC);
  • Theatre Educators Managers (TEMAC);
  • Secretary Regional Interest Group (PNC);
  • Served on Editorial committee of National Journal “The Dissector”;
  • Lower North Island Theatre Managers forum (both Public and Private Hospitals)
