Many PACUs require varied or staggered nursing schedules to accommodate the daily OR cases. The PACU administrative team must be aware of the budgetary constraints and the efficiency of the unit. The multiple shifts should be staffed by nurses with varied skills. For example, it is never advisable to place all new or inexperienced hires on the same shift; rather, it is more prudent to ensure that nurses across the skill-acquisition continuum comprise the staffing for any given shift. Blending the skill mix helps to ensure that quality and safe patient care is delivered consistently across all days of the week and all hours that a unit is open. It also creates opportunities for new hires and less experienced staff to learn from the more seasoned staff.
