Perinatal Orientation & Education Program (POEP) & Simulation/Skills Days


COURSE DESCRIPTION
The POEP & Simulation/Skills course provides the foundation for Perinatal Nursing. The focus of the Simulation/Skills Days is to promote application and synthesis of the POEP Module as it blends on-line learning with five days of simulation scenarios and skills stations. The 15 POEP Modules are provided by Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) and consist of:  
  • Reproductive Health & infertility
  • Preconception & Inter-conception Health
  • Physiologic & Psychosocial Adaptation to Pregnancy
  • Process of Labor & Birth
  • ​Perinatal Safety & Risk Management
  • Complications of Pregnancy
  • Perinatal Infections & Perinatal Loss
  • Postpartum Assessment & Care
  • Newborn Assessment & Nursing Care
  • Neonatal Complications
  • Cesarean Birth & Post Anesthesia Care

The Simulation/Skills Days consist of case study scenarios that use of full body, human-like patient simulators for practicing bedside management of patients with complex disorders, including assessment and treatment.

The focus of the Simulation/Skills Days is to allow hands-on practice and promote application and synthesis of the POEP module content, while allowing the participant to practice critical thinking, communication, decision-making skills and interventions in a safe learning environment.

POEP and Simulation/Skills Days
To prepare for each of the Simulation/Skills Days, participants must complete the corresponding POEP Modules, which range from 16-20 hours depending on the component content.
