Collaboration and Success: One Team Moving Forward

The recruitment of Oncology trained perianesthesia nurses can be an extremely difficult task to achieve. As our patient census continues to grow, the need to meet the high acuity recovery demands with minimal staff continues to be overwhelming for our comprehensive cancer center. Through collaboration with department leadership and the clinical educators, the resolution was clear, a perianesthesia nurse cohort must be developed. The idea was to envelop and develop nurses to gain oncology and recovery knowledge in order to perform independently at the highest acuity level in an oncology perianesthesia unit.
