What is an Afternoon Pre Anesthesia Testing RN?

An Afternoon Pre Anesthesia Testing RN is a registered nurse who conducts preoperative assessments for patients scheduled for surgery later in the day. They evaluate medical histories, perform tests, and ensure patients are prepared for anesthesia, often working in outpatient or hospital settings during afternoon shifts. Certification in perioperative nursing or advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) may be required.
