Respiratory Therapist cross-training to help with nursing care in a Special Care Nursery.

Hello,

Does anyone have a process/program by which an RT can cross-train to help with nursing care in the Special Care Nursery. This would be tasks such as feedings and vitals. When nursing staffing is in a pinch, an RT could step in to help. What do you think?

Thanks

We used to do this all the time when I worked in Boise.

We help out our nurses sometimes if they are running around. Makes for better work environment if your willing to help each other.
