I'm an ER nurse thinking about taking a PACU job. My question for you pacu nurses is about call time. I was told by the manager in my interview we are suppose to be able to be at the hospital within 30 min. But it seems like that's just kind of what everyone says. Realistically I live more like 40-45 min away. Do you think this will be an issue? I can understand the OR nurse needing to be there fast or the surgery can't start but doesn't the pacu nurse have all the added time the surgery itself takes? Does the pacu nuse have to be on site to start the surgery? It seem like as the pacu nurse you would have much more than 30 min before your needed. Am I wrong? thanks
