Surgical Admitting Nursing

Pre-Surgical Tours

We help patients and families feel more comfortable with surgery before they arrive by leading special Pre-Surgical Tours.

The nurses of the surgical admitting unit are dedicated to providing quality, family-centered care to patients preparing to undergo surgical interventions/procedures under general anesthesia or sedation involving one or more of the following services:

Anesthesiology
Bone Marrow Transplant
Cardiothoracic Surgery/Cardiac Catheterization
Dental Surgery
Gastroenterology
General Pediatric Surgery
Neurosurgery
Oncology
Ophthalmology
Orthopaedic Surgery
Otolaryngology
Plastic Surgery
Radiology
Urology

We assist in the preparation for surgery, a diverse population of children of all ages ranging from infants to adults for surgery in our main operating room as well as our ambulatory surgical center.

Surgical Admitting Staff

Our nurses are clinical professionals, registered nurses and pediatric nurse practitioners. Together and in conjunction with the Division of Anesthesiology, we assess healthy, as well as chronically ill and fragile patients, preparing them prior to being cared for by anesthesia and the surgical team.

"I have been a nurse for 35 years and I have never been as proud of where I work as I am now."
