They monitor vital signs, manage pain, assess for complications, and ensure patients are stable before discharge.

You will regularly assess vital signs, administer medications, and educate patients and their families about post-procedure care. Additionally, you'll collaborate closely with surgical, anesthesia, and administrative teams to coordinate care and facilitate efficient patient flow.

These competencies ensure safe, efficient recovery for patients after outpatient procedures and effective collaboration with surgical and anesthesia teams.
