Hospital RN

Perioperative Registered Nurse

A Perioperative Registered Nurse plays a dual role. In the pre-op phase, they prepare patients for surgery by reviewing medical histories, conducting physical assessments, and ensuring informed consent is obtained. These RNs manage presurgical anxiety and administer necessary medications. In the PACU, or recovery phase, the RN monitors patients as they emerge from anesthesia, managing pain levels and observing vital signs to ensure stable recovery. The perioperative RN provides education on discharge instructions and necessary follow-up care.
