Abstract
Health care economics of the 1990s has brought many changes to nursing practice. Perinatal nursing has not escaped this change. The role of providing cost-effective, client-focused perinatal care to mothers and infants has become an increasingly difficult task. With these changes , it has become imperative for perinatal nurses to cross-train in othe r areas to survive into the next decade. This article presents informa tion to plan, implement, and evaluate a successful cross-training prog ram.
