S.P.A.N.C.

This blog is meant to be a place for Sunnybrook Peri-Anesthesia Nurses (Pre-Admission Centre, Same Day Surgery, Post Anesthetic Are Unit and Surgical Short Stay Unit) to stay in communication with each other and to be up-to-date with concerns regarding the Peri-Anesthesia Department. The Purpose of S.P.A.N.C is •To re-implement a unit based council •to identify the unique role of the Peri-anesthesia nurse and to help staff from other areas understand what it is that we do •to create a collegial atmosphere for sharing our professional experiences within the subgroups of Peri-anesthesia •to facilitate open discussion and priority of issues relating to professional practice, education and research that impact on the quality of our work life and thereby affect positive outcomes for our patients and their families.

Welcome


I am a little behind on introducing two new PeriAnesthesia Nurses.

First, Prema Arulananthan RN, has joined the PACU and is our pioneer PACU Holding RN. She will be responsible for taking care of PACU Phase 2patients who are awaiting their bed availability. Prema previously worked on D6. She spent many years working in Norway and is fluent in Norwegian if anyone needs a translator!

Next, a warm welcome to Mila Kaplansky RN, who has recently started her orientation in SDS. Mila has previously worked in CCU, and returns to Sunnybrook after her maternity leave.

Thank you to both RN's for choosing PeriAnesthesia and their newest area of specialization!
