OB Education??

Hi everyone,

I work in a rural hospital where we do 35-50 deliveries a month. Also, all the nurses rotate between L/D, nursery, and PP.

Anyways....I am going to be in charge of putting on some drills with the unit and providing education. Just curious if anyone can recommend anything that they really enjoyed on their unit.

I have some ideas - basic NRP drills, working with a physician to put on a joint shoulder dystocia/hemorrhage drill, reviewing policies....

But, I would really appreciate anything that you guys can offer up that you found particularly helpful or enjoyable :) Let me know! Thank you!

    We have done an emergent C-section drill along with the ones you have mentioned. I would also suggest maybe reviewing hypertensive crisis, cord prolapse and uterine rupture.

    As a new grad with limited experience I think the following would be helpful in addition to the ones already listed:

    drills for placing blood orders (in the few I've been involved in it has always required multiple nurses to get the orders in correctly, even those with years of experience needed help!)

    NRP situations (both at delivery and delayed)

    maternal codes

    Agree with Just Floored - hypertensive crisis in pregnancy is one that should be covered, because it's so common and needs to be treated quickly. Stat C/S, megacodes, PPH, shoulder dystocia, epidural procedure. Our nurses are able to set up and titrate epidural pumps per protocol, so we do an annual review of that as well.
