The post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) is a busy place, due in part to the 310 million major surgeries performed globally each year. If you’re looking for PACU RN jobs, we can help you find ones that are a great fit, whether you’re seeking full-time, part-time, contract, temporary, and per diem opportunities. You can also search for related roles such as PCU RN jobs or med-surg RN jobs.

PACU RN Education and Skills

The steps to become a PACU RN start with education. You can pursue either an associate degree in nursing (ADN) or a bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) from an accredited nursing program. Next, you must pass the NCLEX-RN exam to be licensed to practice as a registered nurse. Additionally, you may be required to have the following certifications for RN PACU jobs:

  • Basic Life Support (BLS)
  • Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
  • Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)

Certain employers may prefer if you have specialty certificates in perioperative nursing or perianesthesia, such as certified post-anesthesia nurse (CPAN) or ambulatory perianesthesia nurse (CAPA) certification. For more insight into what might be required of candidates, take a look at our sample PACU RN job description.

PACU RN Resume and Cover Letter

A strong PACU nurse resume can help you stand out from a sea of qualified applicants. Review a job posting and note which job responsibilities are emphasized. For example, if a posting says the nurse’s primary duty will be caring for patients requiring hemodynamic monitoring, be sure to use that phrase in your resume to point to your relevant experience.

Then, use your PACU nurse cover letter to talk about any experience you have treating patients who have undergone cardiac procedures such as angiograms, angioplasties, or pacemaker/ICD placement. This helps reinforce that your skills align with what’s required on the job.

Interviewing for a PACU RN Job

Making a positive impression during a job interview can go a long way in helping you secure a job offer. That’s why it’s important to prepare in advance. Need some help with that? Take a look at our common PACU nurse interview questions and answers. You’ll learn practical ways to tackle questions about your strengths and weaknesses, career goals, and more.

Salary for RN PACU Jobs
