title: What floor nurses want to hear from you.
abstract: This article explores how a thorough, concise, and organized transfer report can help the PACU nurse effectively communicate the patient's condition, help the floor nurse anticipate the patient's needs, and facilitate the patient's recovery period. A three-step process is recommended for developing a systematic approach to the transfer report.
