The RN Pre-op/PACU/PAT Float is a Registered Nurse that contacts (by way of telephone and email) all patients prior to surgery to assess medical and medication history, review appropriate lab, x‑ray, EKG orders to determine where and when these procedures are to be completed, and provide pre‑admission teaching. The RN may send patients for laboratory testing or clearance prior to surgery as ordered/required.
