    Dear Susie,

    Don’t sell yourself short. Your opinion is very valuable since you saw first hand what goes on. That is what is so great about this site. Such a diverse mix of people, each with their own unique knowledge. I hope you are feeling better, Susie. I love hearing from you.

    Love,-Pam

    I’m a former liver tranplant ICU nurse and I really think these patients have to go to the ICU post op. Even if they can get them extubated in PACU, they require close hemodynamic monitoring and you have to keep an eye on their labs. I don’t think the floor is adequately staffed to do this.
    Not like my opinion matters much, but I thought I’d share it anyway!

    Take care!
    Susie
