Beatsperminute: Also, I found this this amazing YouTube ventilator series. It really helped me to understand the setting and what you want to accomplish from them. My first exposure to a ventilltor was less scary after watching these! Here's the first one and then subscribed to medcram and you will find the other 6 parts. good luck!

Yes i would also like to know what course you could take for drips and lines??

I download Drains on kindle aka its on my iPhone-to big to carry around. I also have a good book that bullet points PACU essentials. PeriAnesthesia Nursing Care-A Bedside Guide for Safe Recovery. It is by Daphne Stannard and Dina Krenzischek. It is soft covered and light to carry around.

Very true-even when you ask several different anesthesiologist what "General Anesthesia" is, you also get different answers and none are wrong, it is their own philosophy and experience. You will then make your own opinions as you gain experience and just let everyones opinions roll off your back, some become a little passionate about their own opinion! Good Luck!

Another good book to read along with Drains PeriAnesthesia Nursing (Which is humongous to carry so mine is on Kindle) is "PeriAnesthesia Nursing Care- A Bedside Guide for Safe Recovery". Authors are Stannard and Krenzischek. It is a soft cover, easy to carry around, and bullet points PACU essentials including all the anesthesia types, pain management, and importance information for different procedures.
