Thanks, Katie. They use propofol, but I will not be in the procedure room, so I won't be doing the sedation...just recovering!

Thank you, PLcd. I remember the first time I realized I would love GI: A patient who hadn't been able to pass air went into the restroom to change after recovering. As I cleaned up the recovery area, I waited and waited and waited, for what seemed like forever, to hear something. When I finally did hear it (that wonderful sound ) I was so incredibly happy and relieved, I knew then it was for me.

Hi Everyone! I would like to get information as to what to expect in my first (new grad) RN job as a recovery room nurse for a private gastroenterology practice. I previously worked as a tech during nursing school for a small practice, sterilizing the scopes and assisting patients after procedures. This is a much larger practice, with six beds in the recovery area, and more focus on the recovery period. I will start training in a couple of weeks and I'm wondering what material I should review. I have a large PACU packet that I have looked over already, and I'm comfortable with my gastroenterology knowledge, but I would like to know what else I should focus on. Thanks in advance! Sooooo excited!
