I work in an outpt surgery center where we have always had 3 rn in the pacu. we do general and local cases and have 2-3 patients in the pacu at any given time, including peds pts. The director now wants to cut this down to 2. We have to discharge the pts out of the facilites ourselves which means leaving the unit. Is there anything out there that says you can not leave 1 rn in a pacu on their own w/1 or more pts. We feel it is not safe, any ideas?
