They monitor vital signs, manage pain, assess for complications, and provide emotional support to both the child and their family.

Familiarity with electronic health records (EHRs), pediatric monitoring equipment, and medication administration systems is crucial. Outstanding communication, emotional resilience, and the ability to ease children and anxious families set exceptional nurses apart. These skills are vital for providing safe, compassionate, and effective care during children’s critical recovery period after surgery.

What are the main challenges faced by Pediatric PACU RNs and how can they be addressed?
