Crosstraining in skillset, population and speciality adds a layer of quality to the team. In our department, it is mandatory that one goes through each unit understanding the nuances and differences between each. The orientee will spend a week in each one, the NICU, PICU, Med-Surge, Cardiac and so on. Many days, a holiday or short- staffed, we are asked to work outside our "comfort" zone. That is when- we as a team truly shine and rise to the occasion. Additionally, viewing challenges and obstacles with a fresh perspective can address and identify better solutions solely by looking at things differently. Crosstraining adds leverage to any team.
