My preceptorship will be in PACU, recommendations on what to brush up on?

[Zaraza]

Hey everyone,

I will be having my preceptorship for my senior year of nursing in the PACU. I want to prepare myself the best I can. I want to show everyone that I am wanting to learn as much as I can, and would like to review/preview what ever I need to make myself more competent.

what are some things that you have noticed Students need to review?

Check up my post on this thread, Scrub nurse in recovery?!?! - Nursing for Nurses

The post immediately prior to that, by canesdukesgirl, also contains some good info.

Here's another one from the PACU forum: Nursing Student in the PACU - Nursing for Nurses

And this...Transferring from ICU to PACU - Nursing for Nurses

And lastly...PACU frustration - Nursing for Nurses

Anything telling you I'm passionate about PACU?

Come back if you have any other questions. :)

Thank you for the links! I just received my preceptorship assignment to recovery room, and I'm very nervous. I'll be studying up on everything that's been stated thus far.
