Maternal Fetal Medicine RN Interview

[LatebloomerRN]

Would appreciate advice from experienced OB/GYN and/or maternal fetal medicine nurses. I have an interview at maternal fetal medicine clinic. I worked as a mommy baby nurse nine years ago for one year. I also was a school nurse for seven years. Do I need to have recent acute care experience to be successful in this clinic role and moreover provide safe, prudent nursing care? I'm passionate about the field, eager to learn, but unsure about training at this stage. Thank you for any responses.

MFM clinics are OB specialists that focus on high risk pregnancies. So you would ideally have a foundational knowledge of pregnancy complications and how chronic illnesses could affect pregnancy. I'm not talking about the common complications like pre-eclampsia or GDM. More like higher order multiples, mothers with cardiac disorders, twin-to-twin transfusion, other chronic illnesses that could affect pregnancy like autoimmune disorders, pre-existing diabetes, substance use disorder, HIV.

Thank you for the info. I've been reading and studying everything I can about high risk pregnancies, as well as diagnostic testing in MFM clinics, so I'm familiar w the differences. Also - I had 2 high risk pregnancies myself and saw a Perinatologist. Although I have the foundational knowledge- do you believe it's enough to start working in this clinic or would you recommend I get more acute care experience first?  Thank you...
