Hi, i would like to be a pediatric nurse working on the post surgery unit. Would this involve putting in iv's? It sure can. A surgical patient will already have an IV coming out of surgery, usually one placed by the anaesthesiologist (and darn, they're good at them). But IVs can come out or get infiltrated and need to be replaced, and placing IVs is well within the scope of duties of an RN. You would not make it through nursing school without putting in iv's. You wouldn't likely have to start too many iv's in a PACU, but you would still need the skill for emergency situations. |
