Registered Nurse Preop PACU

Tampa Bay Joint and Spine Surgery Center was formed by a group of local surgeons to offer easily accessible outpatient care to Clearwater and surrounding communities. The goal of any outpatient surgical visit is to provide the patient with a comfortable environment that focuses on their safety, supports the surgeon with the newest equipment, experienced staff, and results in a successful surgical outcome.

Patients appreciate being able to recover in the comfort of their own home surrounded by family and friends.

As a Pre‑admission testing nurse or PAT nurse, duties include overseeing intake, performing an initial physical assessment, interviewing the patient to obtain their medical history, conducting tests ordered by the surgeon such as an EKG, and possibly drawing blood for lab work.
