Jeri, Veteran Recruiter
PACU combines solid hourly rates with somewhat steadier flow than open ICU in many centers. Ask how late stays get paid when OR runs long.
Natasha, Seasoned Travel Nurse
Day-focused PACU schedules pair well with city festivals, food tours, and lakefront time. Batch life admin on off-weeks so play time stays real.
Kat, Newbie Travel Nurse
Clear OR-to-PACU communication shortens handoff anxiety for travelers. Learn local sedation reversal and airway escalation paths before soloing.
