title: Matching nurses, skill sets spells ED success.
abstract: In an area such as the EDstat at Reston (VA) Hospital Center, where patients with minor conditions are treated, it's important to match the skills of your staff with the requirements of such a specialized area. The nurses must have excellent assessment skills. The ability to work quickly and display exceptional technical skills also is a must. When putting the staff together, consider those who work well as a team.
