What is a Remote PACU RN?

A Remote PACU RN is a Registered Nurse who specializes in post-anesthesia care (PACU) and provides nursing support, monitoring, and patient education remotely, usually via telehealth platforms. These nurses help patients recover after surgery by assessing their progress, managing pain, and addressing complications or concerns virtually, rather than at the bedside. Remote PACU RNs may work with patients after outpatient surgery or those recovering at home, collaborating with the healthcare team to ensure safe and effective recovery.
