title: Day surgery: is it the way to go?
abstract: This article will identify the change in ophthalmology nursing practice which occurred at St. Boniface General Hospital (Winnipeg, Manitoba). The discussion will begin with a review of the benefits of day surgery and will then describe the ophthalmology day surgery program. The formal evaluation results will be reviewed. The article will provide nursing administrators with an overview of an ophthalmology day surgery program and will demonstrate day surgery's potential use in other institutional settings.
