:) You could incorporate some sort of - what would you like to be doing, competent at, anything you see as an opportunity for the RVNs to -- take some of the strain of the VS, or other staff, -- improve client satisfaction, improve inpatient well being -- try to turn it into a "you are fab, how would you like to be even more fab" type thing ? :) as well as - what opportunities would increase your job satisfaction etc

Yes I understand that. I was using them as an example. It all depends on the type of practice the OP will be working at as to what skills they need to upscale

Other than nerve blocks and advanced imaging, I think every qualified nurse should be capable and competent in the rest, no?

Do a check list of skills/tasks you want each nurse to be competent at. You could have tick boxes next to each labelled: not able, some experience, competent.

this could include some of the following:

placing ivs

drug calculations

positioning for rads

skin prep

scrubbing up

performing nerve blocks

CPR

using advanced imaging

basic physio techniques

etc etc
