CRNA looking for conference

You will be placing epidurals for labor patients. You will also be doing spinal anesthesia, and sometimes general anesthesia, for c-sections, tubal ligations, D&Cs. Sometimes scheduled procedures, sometimes crash procedures.

Not sure what you mean by conference.

Sorry. Let me clarify. I work OB and am very competent with epidurals, spinals, etc. But it is very interesting to learn the OB side of it. I do not want to just accept the patient for a C section, but want to understand the genetic, disease, and anatomical issues that are prominent in the OB field. To have a better understanding of the patient I am dealing with. Hopefully to provide more complete care with the team.

I would pick up a copy of Williams' "Obstetrics" and maybe subscribe to AJOG.

The Professional Education Center offers some OB-focused seminars around the country:

Also check out AWHONN, ACNM, ACOG conferences.... I get a whole bunch of advertisements in the mail for "High-Risk OB" seminars that seem to be always scheduled in Maui in February - can't remember which organization puts those on. Those are geared toward OB/GYNs as well as well as OB nurses.

Some states have multidisciplinary perinatal organizations - and hold conferences that appeal to a wide range of health care professionals, on a variety of OB topics.

It depends on what type of information you're looking for - nursing perspective, medical perspective... something in between. You should be able to find it.
