My hospital is attempting to start a new practice of discharging the patient from PACU after hours. The patients used to go to the floor if SDS was already gone, now our CNO wants us to do it. We are a PACU of 4 and do 400-500 cases per month. We are already worked to death, besides this practice does not seem safe. Especially for pediatric patients who have had general anesthesia. WHAT IS EVERYONE ELSES STANDARD OF PRACTICE? (I'm new @ this as charge nurse.)
