Thank you, your reply gave me some info. I like the idea of asking the anesthesiologist what to look for. I will find out what surgeries we do with peds probably this week, so I can work on that. I also have a colleague who was a peds nurse and will take her out to lunch to ask her about it. Thanks again for your reply, really appreciate it!
Hi all, I am transferring from ED to PACU. I've been told that they are going to orient me for both pedi patients and adults. I have very little pedi experience. What should I expect in terms of training and what I need to know to care for these patients? We do have pedi in the ER but it's usually just a cold or the flu and we don't do much for them. I really don't have peds critical care experience. Any books or literature or media you recommend? Would love feedback!
