ForwardPre-Op/PACU RN Skills Day Spring 2026
This activity is designed to enhance Pre‑Op and PACU nurses’ knowledge, skills, and confidence in caring for patients with specialized devices and higher‑acuity needs. Through hands‑on, interactive learning, participants will review best practices for safe device management, recognize potential complications, and determine when escalation of care is required. By reinforcing skills that are not used routinely, this activity supports safe clinical practice and high‑quality patient care in the Pre‑Operative and PACU environments.
