When You Arrive at the Hospital

P​lease go to the department or unit the PAC or Admitting nurse told you.

A nurse will:

  • discuss your health history with you
  • ask you to change into a hospital gown
  • put your belongings in a safe place

An intravenous (IV) will be started before you go to the operating room or once you’re in the operating room.​
