Registration is officially open for the Winter Maternal Newborn Nursing Care (MNNC) Course

A Perinatal Newborn Nursing Program (PNNP): February 2025

The MNNC course is a comprehensive program that prepares nurses for hire and preceptorship into the labor, delivery, and postpartum setting. Taught by numerous leading perinatal experts in the community, this program is designed to bridge the gap between theory and actual clinical practice. Originally part of the Regional Perinatal System's collaborative and education initiative to reduce maternal and infant mortality, this program has been well vetted and continuously looked to as a standard for obstetric education. Current, evidence-based guidelines and best practices are utilized to deliver course content in a meaningful, convenient, and practical manner.

Winter registration closes January 28, 2025.

What Nurses Are Saying

  • Fetal Monitoring Course Participant

    "The instructor was so awesome! She was incredibly knowledgeable and very helpful in breaking the material down so we could actually understand it. I will definitely be going back to her for future AWHONN FHM courses."

  • MNNC Participant

    "I truly believe this course is priceless and absolutely vital for anybody interested in Labor and Delivery. I loved every minute of learning and felt that I was able to comprehend and understand the material due to the instructors’ teaching styles. Kristi is incredibly organized and an absolute expert. I feel lucky to have been able to take this course and learn from such a passionate instructor. She takes the time to respond to all questions, and answers thoroughly while making sure the student understands. All of the instructors were wonderful, and I look forward to using this material in the future. Thank you!"

  • Continuing Education Student

    "Great instructor that really had my attention and was engaging through the whole course! The online platform was easy to navigate and I loved how I could go back and rewatch any portions of the video at any time. I also loved being able to complete the course at home, on my own time. I finally understand the "why" behind these complicated patients and I appreciate your passion very much."

  • Undergraduate Nursing Student

    "I feel like I have improved in all aspects of my critical thinking, clinical judgment, and general nursing knowledge. She is a true professional and the epitome of a nurse. I am honored to have learned alongside one of the best!"

  • MNNC Participant

    "I have learned way more about OB nursing through the MNNC program in such a short amount of time than I did in 5 months of OB in nursing school. Every MNNC instructor was so passionate about their lesson and it was amazing learning from nurses, providers, social workers - the whole team was incredible! I can't imagine going into L&D without having these courses. Thank you for inspiring me!"

  • Fetal Monitoring Course Participant

    The best fetal monitoring course I have been to in 18 years of working as a labor and delivery nurse. I thought I knew a lot about FHM, but I came away from this class with so much new information. Very well done!
