About the Event
Are you an Emergency Department nurse with little or no experience in the Obstetrics Department?
Does the thought of an emergent delivery of a baby in the ED frighten you?
Does your facility not have an Obstetrical Department?
Do you want to learn more about emergent OB conditions that might present in your ED?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, this eight-part educational series was designed with you in mind! Throughout this interactive experience, participants engage in simulated learning
opportunities, case study discussions, OB and newborn assessments/emergencies, and will
review priority interventions for various situations.
