Flexibility is a must! If unit is busy when your time to go home, you may have to stay & get your pt. to their room. How do you handle pressure? Being calm in emergency and being able to anticipate problems are great skills for PACU. Handling conflict directly and professionally is important in any area of nursing-( I was questioned in an interview how I would approach a coworker I felt wasn't carrying their load and other similar questions) Good luck! PACU is a great place to work!
