Acuity Unlocked: How Cross Training Cardiac Nurses is Changing the Rhythm
Wednesday, April 8, 2026 | 7:00 pm
Cost: ANA-Ohio Members – Free
Non-Members – $25.00
Presenter: Cristin Coleman, BS, BSN, RN, RN
Description: In May 2024, pediatric heart center at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, underwent a major structural and staffing transformation, combining a 10-bed Pediatric Cardiac Stepdown Unit (CSDU) and a 12-bed Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (PCICU) into a single 12-bed hybrid unit. Initially, staff remained functionally separated by unit designation, resulting in rigid assignment patterns and significant challenges in daily staffing flexibility. Ms. Coleman will describe the intense education process that addressed learning needs of staff from both units. This project demonstrates how intentional cross-training not only improves nurse confidence and clinical competency but also reshapes unit culture and operations, unlocking new potential in hybrid cardiac care delivery. Nurses engaged in acute and critical care, professional development, and nursing management may benefit from attending this CE activity.
