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


COURSE DESCRIPTION

The POEP & Simulations/Skills course provides the foundation for Perinatal Nursing as it blends online learning with five days of simulation scenarios and skill stations. With 15 modules provided by AWHONN, POEP focuses on topics such:
  • Reproductive Health & Infertility
  • Preconception& Interconception Health
  • Physiologic & Psychosocial Adaptation to Pregnancy
  • Process of Labor & Birth
  • Perinatal Safety & Risk Management
  • Complications of Pregnancy
  • Perinatal Infections and Perinatal Loss
  • Postpartum Assessment & Care
  • Newborn Assessment & Nursing Care
  • Neonatal Complications
  • Cesarean Birth & Post Anesthesia Care
During the simulation and skills days, students practice bedside management of patients with complex disorders, including assessment and treatment.  This process allows hands on practice to promote the application and synthesis of the POEP module content, all while allowing the participant to practice critical thinking, communication, decision making skills, and interventions in a safe learning environment.

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.
