Scalpel or Swiss Army Knife

Rural hospitals do not need more scalpels…

They need more swiss army knives.

In our line of work we talk with a lot of hospital leaders.

They tell us that their new hires are too often too narrow in their skill set

Like scalpels, many nurses and other staff can do only one thing really well.

 

As important as that is…

It’s people who are generalists in more than one skill that are needed…

People who, like swiss army knives, can perform a little bit of everything.

Having a variety of skills, and a mindset to learn more, opens the door to job opportunities.

 

What have been some jobs that have demanded a lot from you, but have been satisfying?
