At Kaiser Permanente Roseville, the Labor & Delivery Cross-Training Program provides experienced nurses with a unique opportunity to expand their professional practice into one of nursing’s most dynamic specialties. This thoughtfully designed program supports the development of both technical competencies and critical thinking skills essential for success in Labor & Delivery.

The curriculum integrates virtual learning modules, in-person didactic instruction, and preceptor-led clinical experiences. Each component is intentionally aligned to reinforce and build upon the others, creating a cohesive and progressive learning journey. Classroom content complements online modules, while weekly patient-facing experiences allow nurses to apply their knowledge in real time.

Preceptors are selected for their clinical excellence, teaching ability, and professional integrity. They receive specialized training to ensure consistency and quality across all learner experiences. Each nurse is also paired with a nurse leader or nursing professional development specialist who provides individualized guidance, structured check-ins, and ongoing progress evaluations. These touchpoints help celebrate progress, identify growth opportunities, and tailor the learning experience to each nurse’s needs.

This comprehensive and supportive pathway not only equips nurses with new clinical skills but also fosters confidence, compassion, and professional growth. Graduates of the program emerge as capable Labor & Delivery professionals, ready to provide exceptional care.
