Pre-op nursing??

I work in an ambulatory care unit. We also cover the PACU. The requirements at my hospital are ACLS, PALS, BLS, and an Critical Care Course. You have to have good assessment skills, great at working IVs and a fair amount of teaching. I love my job. I decided to become an ambulatory nurse after working as a float. I worked all the hospital and loved the pace of the work day in this department. It is a very fast paced unit. Some days we turns the stretchers over between 4 to 5 patients. Good luck on your quest to become an ambulatory care nurse. You are off to a good start with your med-surg experience.
