What is PACU, and What Does a PACU Nurse Do? 

PACU stands for Post-Anesthesia Care Unit, also known as the recovery room. PACUs are always attached to an operating room or procedure room. They may be part of a hospital, medical center, or a standalone surgical center.

PACUs differ depending on the types of surgeries and procedures being performed. These units are typically part of the perioperative

area, where patients are closely monitored after their operations. The duration of a patient’s stay in the PACU depends on their condition.

A PACU nurse’s job description is typically a registered nurse with critical care experience who takes care of patients immediately after surgery. PACU nurse’s responsibilities include closely monitoring patients’ vital signs and managing common post-operative symptoms such as pain, nausea, dizziness, and other effects of surgery and anesthesia. They provide immediate care as patients recover from anesthesia and ensure a smooth transition to further post-surgical care.

Hospital-Based Surgery Centers vs. Same-Day Surgeries 

Most non-elective, urgent, or complex surgeries are performed in hospital operating rooms. These units are typically attached to hospitals so that internal emergency response teams can be readily available, and patients can be transferred to critical care units if needed.

Because hospitals perform complex cases, patients are often placed under general anesthesia. When they arrive in the PACU, these patients may have airways in place or, in some cases, be on ventilators. It takes longer for these patients to recover from anesthesia, and they frequently experience more symptoms, such as pain, nausea, and dizziness.

In contrast, same-day surgeries are generally elective. Patients must meet specific criteria, such as good health and not having chronic conditions like heart, kidney, or liver disease. Common procedures performed in same-day surgeries include cataract surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, inguinal hernia repair, and hand surgeries such as carpal tunnel release.

Specific clinics also perform “procedures,” such as pain management or interventional radiology, where patients typically receive light to moderate sedation with medications like Fentanyl and Versed to manage pain and anxiety.

Same-Day Surgery Center PACU Nurse Job Description and Responsibilities 

At my same-day surgery center, we handle a variety of cases, including:

Eye Procedures: Cataract surgery, vitrectomy, pterygium removal
Pediatric Urology: Circumcision, orchidopexy
Hand Orthopedics: Carpal tunnel release, trigger finger release, ganglion cyst removal, minor fracture repair
Minor Shoulder, Knee, and Foot Surgeries
General Surgery: Hernia repair, laparoscopic cholecystectomy
ENT Surgery: Septoplasty

As a PACU nurse, I receive patients from the operating room. For general surgery cases, most patients are still in a deep sleep but breathing on their own, some with an airway device in place. Some patients may be mildly awake and delirious and return to sleep after receiving a sedative, such as Precedex, from the CRNA.

All patients are hooked to monitors to track vital signs (heart rate, respiration, pulse oximetry, temperature) every 15 minutes. We ensure patients are as comfortable as possible by providing warm blankets, administering oxygen, and creating a calm environment.

Our anesthesia team does an excellent job, so most general surgery patients experience little to no pain. If needed, we have standing orders for pain management, including Dilaudid, Fentanyl, or Morphine. For nausea, we use Zofran or Reglan.

Once immediate issues such as pain and delirium are managed, I input the patient’s initial vital signs into their chart, verify orders from the surgeon and anesthesiologist, and check for discharge instructions. I also confirm any prescriptions that need to be picked up from the pharmacy and call the patient’s family or designated ride.

Discharge Instructions: Best Practices 

It is best to provide discharge instructions to patients during pre-op while awake and unaffected by anesthesia. When I work in pre-op, I encourage patients to ask questions about their surgery, what to expect, and what they should be mindful of post-op. It’s easier for them to process the information when alert and clear-headed.

However, the PACU nurses are still responsible for providing discharge instructions after surgery. We prefer to explain these instructions to the patient’s family member or whoever will be with them in recovery. We ensure that everyone fully understands the instructions, verifying that there are no language barriers or other obstacles to comprehension.

Once patients are awake and alert, we offer them something to eat or drink, such as water or juice and crackers. Most same-day surgery patients do not have dietary restrictions, though some, like those recovering from oral surgeries, may need modified diets.

PACU nurses monitor patients for 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their status. We manage pain, address symptoms such as throat pain from airway devices, and administer medication for nausea as needed. Patients often feel drowsy, but we reassure them this is normal. Once their vital signs are stable, they are breathing well on room air, they can tolerate oral intake, and they have minimal or manageable pain, they are cleared for discharge.

Non-Complicated Cases 

For minor surgeries, such as cataracts or hand surgeries, patients typically receive sedation (Versed and Fentanyl) in addition to a local anesthetic. Recovery from these procedures is straightforward, as most patients are awake during surgery and remain alert in the PACU. We monitor them for about 30 minutes, ensuring their vital signs are stable, pain is controlled, and no significant bleeding.

The same applies to patients undergoing procedures like steroid epidural injections. Recovery for these patients is typically quick, and we monitor them for lower extremity weakness, especially in lumbar epidural cases.

PACU Nurse Jobs and Salary 

According to an article from Nurse.org published in 2023, the median hourly rate for a PACU nurse in the U.S. is $41.38. However, as a per diem PACU nurse in a same-day surgery center, my hourly rate is $90.00, which is typical for PACU nurse salaries in California and even higher in Northern California.

When I applied for this PACU nurse job in Los Angeles in 2018, I had about five years of acute care experience, including three years in critical care. The hospital’s salary structure is based on years of experience, with per diem rates being higher than full-time or part-time rates, though per diem nurses do not receive benefits like healthcare or paid time off.

PACU Nurse Certification and PACU Nurse Resume 

When I applied for a PACU Nurse job in 2018, I wasn’t entirely sure what the role entailed. I had just left my full-time position as an ICU nurse due to burnout and a primary care nursing role (which, trust me, wasn’t any better than acute care). I was applying to various positions, such as case management, IR, and GI lab—anything that wasn’t bedside nursing, as I was ready for a change.

Fortunately, my ICU experience helped me land a position in our hospital’s ambulatory surgery center recovery room/PACU. The job posting indicated a PACU Nurse requirement of at least two years of critical care experience and active certifications in BLS, ACLS, and PALS.

Do I Recommend Being a PACU Nurse? 

I wholeheartedly recommend PACU nursing, especially in a same-day surgery setting. Most of our patients are healthy and do not require extensive assistance. While it is still considered bedside nursing, it involves less physical strain compared to inpatient settings and requires fewer medications to administer.

Our patient-to-nurse ratio is typically 2:1, similar to the ICU, but the patients are less complex and generally go home within a few hours.

The only downside is the 9-5 workweek schedule. I prefer working three 12-hour shifts. The patient turnover is also fast, with me caring for up to 6-8 patients in an 8-hour shift.

Despite this, I consider PACU nursing a “soft” nursing job, as it is less physically and emotionally demanding than other nursing specialties. It allows me the time to provide high-quality care to each patient.

Summary 

PACU or recovery rooms are specialized areas within hospitals or standalone clinics where patients are cared for immediately after surgery. PACU nurses monitor vital signs and manage post-operative symptoms such as pain, nausea, and drowsiness.

A PACU nurse’s responsibilities include providing discharge instructions to patients and their families and ensuring they fully understand them before they are discharged home. The job requirements typically include at least two years of acute critical care experience and active certifications in BLS, ACLS, and PALS.
