Theses nurses monitor the condition of patients and ensure their heart beats and other vitals signs are normal. Nurses working the the post-anesthesia care unit have to gain experience of emergency rooms. They must be able to work as a team and coordinate patient care. Applying bandages, administering medications, identifying and reporting changes in vital signs are essential chore of the nurses.
