Training OB nurses for natural birth support

Specialties Ob/Gyn

Published

I posted this on the Nurse Midwife Board also, but thought it might get more activity here.

Does anyone know of any available inservicing or training to teach OB nurses how to care for laboring women who are low risk and desire a natural birth? I am a CNM, but am currently working as an OB Director (newly), with a group of wonderful nurses who have gotten very accustomed to women laboring with epidurals. They are not comfortable with women laboring naturally, intermittent fetal monitoring, etc. I would like to change that. I know I can put together some information and instruction for them, but just wondered if anyone is familiar with a specific inservice, video, book, or whatever, that would work well for this purpose.

Thank you.

This is a great thread! I'm tagging this for later :) I plan on becoming a CNM!
