[@alexanderbaladad9831]

@Copper_skinned Yeah...working with my team is all beast mode

[@angelica6560]

Really helpful video. Have you any idea what questions might be asked in a PACU interview?

[@jeffreyd.shapirom.d.1785]

The opportunity for the PACU nurse to follow up with any questions is an important part of the handoff. Questions on a patient's past medical history, intra-op course, and any expected recovery issues are some that might be asked. All handoffs should include, "are there any questions or concerns".

Shouldn't that other be wearing a scrub? I'm a pacu niurse for over 15 years and we all need to wear proper scrubs.

[@TobyGoTv]

well, not in the hospital i work for. They won't even let us wear something under our scurbs.

+TobyGoTv HI can you give me advice on PACU that is the field I will be going into any tips?

[@jeffreyd.shapirom.d.1785]

+Keka Olan , check out a basic nursing degree, get some general nursing experience and then look for a specific post anesthetic care unit experience

[@whidbeynurse]

if we're not going in the restricted area, not necessary. I wear my own scrubs to work in PACU. If I need to go into the OR or the CORE, I would need to change
