I do most kids outpatient, go home the same day. But if hospitalization is needed, it would only be overnight

  • Registered Nurse, Peri-operative Care
  • California

Usually, 24 to 48 hours.

  • Registered Practical Nurse, Long Term Care
  • Ontario

I think it is a day surgery, so she would be home the same day.
