Recommendations for Perinatal Certification Courses? :)

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hi all,

I have been woking in labour and delivery in a small town for 7 months now, and I am looking to do for a perinatal certification or diploma, or any other online course that would be beneficial, (Fetal heart surveillance, etc). Any recommendations? Schools?

I would like to do distance learning to keep my position, but I would also be open to moving for 1-2 years for a certificate.

Thanks in advance! :)

Based on your spelling of "labour", is it safe to assume you are not in the US? Since it seems the majority of members here are, that would help provide clarification.

I second Rose Queen - are you not American? If that's the case, I don't have a lot of advice.

In the US, there is no special diploma for perinatal nurses. There are various certifications that are valuable (RNC-OB, RNC-MNN) which one could get after they've had a couple years of experience. There is also an EFM certification.
