Introduction to fetal heart monitoring course. Resume

Published

I'm taking the online introduction to fetal heart monitoring course offered by AWHONN. How do I write this on my resume? For example, for Basic Life Support or Advanced Cardiac Support one would put "BLS" and "ACLS". Does introduction to fetal heart monitoring even have a well know acronym like that? I really want to include this on my resume because I want to be an L&D nurse.

I would just write "Basic Fetal Heart Monitoring, AWHONN" - it will differentiate it from Advanced Fetal Heart Monitoring (which you should also get as soon as you can), and AWHONN's courses are considered the gold standard.

Thanks! does the completion of this online course expire? Should I put on my resume the month/year I completed this course, or is it okay if I just put "Intro Fetal Heart Monitoring (AWHONN)"?

I would write completed AWHONN introduction to fetal monitoring. AWHONN has an intermediate course and an advanced course. You really want to distinguish which you completed, at least that is what I would clarify if I looked at your resume.
