interventions, in addition to receiving ICU overflow from the rest of the hospital. If they want blood and guts, we can provide it. We practice very independently, particularly in on-call situations. Most of us have good relationships with our physicians; they respect our knowledge and judgement. We provide care to every age group in a variety of hospital, free-standing, and office-based settings. And yes, there are many opportunities to advance both at the bedside through certification and through graduate education. Nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and nurse anesthetists both come from and practice in perianesthesia settings. What about our patients and the public? How do we explain to them what it is that we do? I think that we must first begin by taking credit for what we do. D o n ' t be afraid to toot your own horn. Let the patient know that you are their best link to a positive and successful surgical experience. The information that you provide preoperatively enables patients and their families to prepare both physically and emotionally for the surgical experience. That warm blanket that you provide, the hand that you hold, the encouraging words during those first moments of wakefulness provide so much support and security to our patients in the Phase I area. When at all possible, follow up with those Phase I patients so that they can put a face with the kind actions that make such an impact on their
VALLIRE D. HOOPER recovery. When discharging the patient and their family to home, let them know again that you will be the link to their successful recovery. Do your best to give patients all of the information that they will need to succeed. What is it that we do? We do so much, and we do it so well that it is often hard to explain this wonderfully varied specialty in a sentence or 2. We do need to be able to explain this specialty, however, and we need to be able to explain it in a way that makes patients feel secure, students feel interested, and administrators feel like they cannot do without us. Do you have an answer for the next time that someone asks you just what do you do? Are you just a nurse? Do you just take blood pressures? Do you just do patient teaching? Those of us in the specialty know that we do so much more. What would you say? Think about it, write it down! Share it with your friends and colleagues. Tell the world what it is that we do. Tell them what perianesthesia nursing is all about. REFERENCES 1. Thomas CL: Taber's Cyclopedia Medical Dictionary (ed 18). Philadelphia, PA, EA. Davis, 1998.
