ARE YOU AN
L&D NURSE?
EXCITING THINGS ARE HERE!
Are you a Labor & Delivery nurse and wish you had more tools & strategies to help your patients achieve a vaginal birth? We've all seen the "experienced" nurse pull tricks out of their hats to help get the baby lower or get the patient to complete... but has anyone ever taught you how and why they work? What about malpositions? Do you know how to strategically get the baby rotated? We got you! We believe that YOU make a huge impact on the patients you care for and deserve to have all the tools to help give them the best labor experience possible, with the best outcomes.
Tired of the same-old, read the powerpoint nursing trainings? US TOO! We are committed to helping you learn in a fun, hands-on way that gives you practical tools you can apply TOMORROW at the bedside!
This workshop will provide you with 8 Continuing Education Hours from the California BRN.
OBJECTIVES

-
Display proper use of various birth props such as (but not limited to) rebozo, birth ball, and peanut ball.
-
Predict and identify fetal malpositions and how the RN can actively respond to facilitate optimal fetal positioning.
-
Identify causes for labor dystocia and create pathophysiologic solutions to reverse them.
-
Identify patients with a history of trauma and adapt care accordingly.
-
Demonstrate therapeutic communication techniques between the nurse, provider and patient when encouraging a physiologic birth intervention.

Physiologic Birth Workshop
This 8-hour workshop is designed for labor & delivery nurses working with intrapartum women and their partner(s), practicing in the inpatient hospital setting. It will provide information necessary to promote physiologic birth and/or interact with various labor patterns/interruptions through non pharmacological nursing interventions. This course promotes birth as a normal, physiologic process for the majority of women, but recognizes that there are common interruptions in the birth process that can have an impact on the ultimate mode of delivery. Upon successful completion of the workshop, the participant will be able to educate, triage and better facilitate physiologic birth to meet the desires of the laboring woman and accomplish a vaginal birth.
This workshop will be presented through multiple activities, hands on practice, lecture, visuals, models and discussion.
Let's enjoy the day together! Training includes coffee/tea bar, breakfast & afternoon snacks, goodie bags, manual/reference guide & MORE!
Make sure you wear comfy clothes! We will be moving around, practicing and trying out different techniques!
