Why PACU nurses?
As the number of invasive procedures climbs, so does the need for anaesthesia. Accordingly, the need for post-anaesthesia care unit nurses grows, too. The need for invasive procedures is growing because of England’s ageing population and the heightening number of people gaining access to universal healthcare. The NHS is positively brimming with patients, so much so that it can barely treat them promptly.
In addition, the world at large faces a nursing shortage, leaving the UK’s healthcare system quaking in its scrubs. Plus, its turnover rate isn’t exactly low, either. Now more than ever, PACU nurses are in demand, and employers are willing to pay for experienced and well-educated PACU nurses.
What is expected of PACU nurses?
Typically, these nurses are in charge of pain management medication administration, and must be consistent and stay on top of charting.
One Reddit nurse recounts her experience; “I fell into this area of nursing on accident and love it. There is usually no family at bedside. You usually don’t have a patient for more than 1 hour. You max out at 2 patients at a time. There have been some really bad days but the good outnumber them. Plus, it’s fun. The right mix of predictable and unpredictable.”
