Providing patient education and instruction prior to surgery and upon discharge is our priority. Each surgical procedure will be staff with a minimum of one Registered Nurse. The surgical scrub person can be a Certified Surgical Technician, LPN, or Registered Nurse. Additional staffing is based on type of surgical procedural and equipment used. The admission and recovery areas have a total of 31 beds.
Computers are available at the nurses station for nursing use.
Hewlett Packard monitors are used in all areas. After surgery, patients stay a minimum of two hours or less prior to discharge. Follow up calls are routinely made on patients the day after surgery. Charting is done manually throughout the patient's stay. The Admission, OR and recovery nurses work well as a team to provide the patient with the best quality care.
