Outstanding communication, emotional resilience, and the ability to ease children and anxious families set exceptional nurses apart.

Support from the PACU team and collaboration with anesthesiologists, surgeons, and child life specialists are important for ensuring positive outcomes and reducing stress for everyone involved.
