Abstract
Medical errors are the third most common cause of death in the United States (Markary & Daniel, 2016) and cost society approximately $20 billion a year (Rodziewicz et al., 2021). The purpose of this quality improvement (QI) project was to increase new perianesthesia nurse residents’ confidence levels in preparing patients for surgery and to decrease surgical delays related to perioperative nursing care, in an acute care hospital in Austin, Texas, through a perianesthesia-specific nurse residency program.
