About CoppertopRNC

CoppertopRNC has 38 years experience as a BSN and specializes in Obstetrics, Labor and Delivery, Leadership.

I have always loved OB nursing and especially labor and delivery. I have been in this field for 32 years and in nursing for 36. I value life long learning and have 5 certifications; RNC-OB, C-EFM along with being a BCPA,(Board Certified Patient Advocate), CLC (Certified Lactation Counselor) and CCE-ACBE(Certified Childbirth Educator). I also love to teach new nurses so I am an AWHONN Intermediate EFM instructor and a NRP instructor. I am here to learn from everyone on these boards and hear your stories and inspiration.
