We get yearly training on any equipment we personally want practise on, so most people ask for HFOV (no Jet here) as it's used as a last-resort only, or for diaphramatic hernias etc. Then you come into the unit one shift and told your baby is the one on HFOV. The nurse handing over tends to try and give you a bit of an idea before she goes home! I've had tons of oscillated babies recently(sounds about right for me!) so I'm ok with it but some nurses shrink away in horror.
