Pre op/pacu

Published

I accepted a job doing pre op/pacu at an ASC mostly doing ortho.  If this is your area of expertise could you list the top medications you give pre and post op? I'm trying to review all the things I know I'll be doing since it's a new area of nursing.

ASPAN is a good resource to check out!
