Re: Wanting a job in PACU
I went to the PACU straight out of nursing school, but i think i might be an exception. I did my senior year rotation in the PACU so they already knew me. However, I think while most places prefer ICU experience, there is a need for PACU nurses and they are starting to hire (at least in my experience) more nurses without ICU experience. An idea might be to go do ACLS and PALS since you will need that to work in the PACU anyway and it could help you get a PACU job if you already have it!
