PACU Nurse
Responsible and empathetic PACU Nurse with years of experience. I have worked long hours for the comfort of patients and ensured the best service to ease their post-operative time in the hospital. I wish to work in a hospital where patients require a skilled nurse to take care of them. I know I have the skill and learning to help those who feel distressed.
Professional Experience
Sydney Richardson Hospital

I recieve patients out of surgery and check that their vitals are normal.
I also check all the patients in recovery to ensure that all patients are recovering from the surgical operation.
I make sure that the surgeon and physician concerned are informed of the patient's condition. I check the wound and change dressing for patients. I also visit them in rooms to record their revcovery phase.

Spent a long time at the hospital and learnt how to handle and care for a patient after surgery.
It was my responsibility to record the vital signs of the patient and observe him/her in recovery.
I had to ensure that the wound was cleansed and that the dressing was done immediately after surgery.
Patients' anesthesia time was noted and it was my responsibility to see that they are conscious on time. In case of any emergencies or irregularities, I was in charge of calming the patients.
