I am writing a paper on this in my MSN program. Thanks for your concept. I would like to cite this, your opening comments match my intro paragraph. Joint Commission is calling for standardization.

[@jennykvox]

This is great stuff, thank you! Your channel has helped me get ready for my new position in PACU! I’m super excited to start! 😊

[@pacunursingminutes]

Best of luck, the PACU is a great department to work in! Thanks for watching!

[@mauvaisechienne2646]

Thank you Thank you Thank You!!!! Im 3 weeks in and currently struggling. Although im a seansoned RN, PACU is new and im very interested in furthering my nursing career in this area. If you have any advice, my issue thus far is speed. I have 1.5 yrs of ICU experience and I found myself getting flustered and overwhelmed with 2 patients, Ive had 3 preceptors the first week and im viewed upon as incompetent. Any advice?!

[@pacunursingminutes]

Hi Mauv, I would start by checking out our PACU Nursing Basics course it’s 8 hours of what you need to know to begin working in PACU. It’s also on sale this week use coupon code = fallsave23, to get 15% off the course. It can be found on our website pacunursingminutes.com then click on courses. Be patient with yourself you will get it! I know because your here seeking to learn more! 😉😎👍🙏❤️Cheers to your inquisitive mind! Cathy

[@mauvaisechienne2646]

Will do!!

[@jennykvox]

Can you explain more about what the hemostasis time is? I’m not familiar with this. Thank you. 😊

[@pacunursingminutes]

Hi Jenny, simply put its how long after removing a line with either manual pressure or a closure device that you have no bleeding, Thus you have reached hemostasis. Via manual pressure can take 5-10 minutes or longer dependent on many factors.
