We are POSITIVE that this is the class you’re most excited about for all of mentorship 😆JK! BUT surprise! It might actually be the most important! We encourage you to stick with this one as this will help you not only protect yourself, your license but also your patient’s birth experiences.
In this class, you will learn from different perspectives/experts to explain to us what shared decision-making and informed consent actually are, what it looks like in practice and what we are responsible for. Shared decision-making is the goal, and we believe that our role is right in the middle of that process, facilitating the needs of both the provider and patient. This is no easy task. We believe in you and believe you will do what’s right when it comes to shared decision-making. Baby steps. We are up against culture and system that doesn’t always do this perfectly, and that’s ok! You are accountable to yourself and your patients. Do your best! Utilize your resources, and speak up for what is right. Your influence in this process MATTERS, and you are not alone.
At the end of this course it is expected that the student can:
Objectives:
1) The student can describe their role and responsibility in the informed consent process.
2) The student can differentiate between verbal, written and implied consent.
3) The student can recognize the difference between informed consent and shared decision-making.
This class features Julie Cantor MD, JD and Pamela Hetrick CNM, expert witness for added value and learning.

We know that this is a module that many of you have been looking forward to – it’s your 101 entry into building your expertise in physiologic birth. In this class, we are going to teach you how to set the body up for labor progress, as well as what actually happens in the body during labor, so that you can recognize when it’s “working” vs. disrupted.
As nurses we have power and influence over the birth room – we can negotiate more time with the doctor, and make a suggestion that can help move closer to a vaginal birth or get in the way. We are “experts” at birth; let’s then be experts at the anatomy and physiology of birth because when you understand what is and should happen, you can better anticipate, plan for and adjust to help achieve a vaginal birth. Knowing that position changes, in general, are our weapon in fighting the c-section. We have to keep them moving – so let’s understand what we’re doing and why it may help. We hope you are as inspired by this content as we are and that you walk away from this module feeling challenged, encouraged, and excited to go to work and help these birthing families bring life into the world.
At the end of this course it is expected that the student can:
- Summarize what physiologic birth is and what can disrupt it.
- Distinguish different parts and levels of the female pelvis and how the fetus moves through it.
- Create a care plan for a fetus that is asynclitic and occiput posterior.

We know birth matters
Those of us who support birth know that the experiences of our births stay with us and have a lasting impact. How we feel about our birth begins the story of our parenting. With the COVID-19 pandemic, birth has become an even more complex experience within the system.
As a birth professional…
Do you see your clients and patients develop trauma from their births? Do you feel overwhelmed or just need some clarity about it? Do you fear that you will see an increase in trauma with the recent developments and feel powerless?
While over 30% of those giving birth describe the experience as traumatic, up to 8% will go on to develop PTSD as a result of the experience. It’s my opinion that these numbers will increase over the coming months. As birth professionals, we will undoubtedly attend traumatic births (virtually or in-person) and yet we are given little if any information about best practices for preventing trauma to our clients. What are we supposed to do here?
Can we do anything?
Description
In this class, we will discuss:
- What is birth trauma?
- Who is most at risk for PTSD after birth?
- What are the signs of birth trauma?
- What can we do in the birth room (virtually or in-person) to minimize psychological trauma to our clients?
This class will emphasize therapeutic skills that can be adapted to the real world by an experienced licensed trauma therapist and certified doula who has been there.
Perfect for doulas, nurses, midwives and OBs
Goal
After this class, you will have a deeper understanding of the subject of birth trauma as well as five immediately applicable new skills for the birth room with your clients and patients. You will leave the class (finally!) equipped to grapple with this timely and important topic.
Learning Objectives:
- Define birth trauma and understand who is most at risk.
- Understand the most common reasons why birth trauma occurs.
- Learn ways that we can prevent or protect against birth trauma at the very next birth we support.
- Discuss specific strategies we can use to help our clients or patients prevent or lessen birth trauma symptoms they already have.
Course includes 14 lessons and a 20 pg workbook.
* 2.75 CEs from the California BRN are given for this course. Class expires two years from the purchase date.
Take a quick minute and think about how confident and/or knowledgeable you feel when managing the scary stuff? After this class you will know the patho of why emergencies happen and what you can do about it. This course will go over 5 main OB emergencies: shoulder dystocia, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, hemorrhage, prolapsed cord and sepsis. You will learn some pathophysiology, signs to look for and what to do as the primary or support RN so that you can function freely in your role as the nurse.
At the end of this course it is expected that the student can:
- Demonstrate how to perform Macroberts and suprapubic pressure
- Interpret vital signs and clinical presentation to determine if a hypertensive patient is decompensating

Fetal monitoring takes up a big portion of our shifts, our brain space, and our stress! Whether your patient is on continuous fetal monitoring or intermittent, it is time-consuming and a lot to manage. We wanted to create a class that helped it all make sense, clarify your questions and give you a foundation or work from your foundation to continue to feel more and more confident in your FM interpretation and nursing interventions. We want you to walk away from this course feeling confident that you know what you are talking about, what you are charting, and how to keep your patients safe, all the while supporting their preferences and dignity.
We also wanted you to have a solid understanding of the legal implications of FM, how to protect yourself, what common pitfalls go to court and overall release you from some stress related to your fetal monitoring interpretation. You will learn from Pam Hetrick again as she goes over some real case studies that she has encountered as an expert nurse witness.
At the end of this course it is expected that the student can:
- Student will identify and label fetal heart rate characteristics
- Student can create a care plan for fetal resuscitation
- Student can describe the pathophysiology of decelerations.
*5 CEs from the California BRN will be awarded upon completion of this class. Class access expires 2 yrs from purchase.
The reality is, that we spend the majority of our time as nurses caring for the birthing person intrapartum and the fetus, not the newborn! The more we thought about it, though, the more we realized that if this process was going to be as thorough as possible, we had to include this topic. Whew! Everyone is scared of that floppy baby. We have, at bear minimum, heard awful stories of babies coming out blue, apneic, needing to run a full code, or having to give blood immediately. It does happen. The good news is, it’s NOT going to happen on every shift. The other good news is that you WILL have to use these skills at some point in your career, which is exactly why we included it! We want you to walk away from this module feeling like you know what is happening to your baby pathophysiology-wise so that you can identify what is normal from what is abnormal, respond appropriately and notify the right people for help. Remembering that you may be the link between this baby getting the help they need, preventing further complications and even death.
You got this.
At the end of this course it is expected that the student can:
- Student describes the pathology of the extrauterine steps newborns take upon delivery.
- Student compares the different respiratory issues a newborn can have after delivery.
- Student can demonstrate the steps to resuscitation.

We’ll walk you through the change process, teach you how to navigate politics, culture, and people, and provide you with resources to keep the process simple, do-able, and efficient. Learn HOW to translate evidence into practice to improve outcomes.
Learn how to lead change.
It takes passion, perseverance, and work.
Who better to do it, than you!?
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will identify one area of opportunity to change on their unit
- Participants will articulate and integrate 6 steps to change the game into their practice
- Participants will verbalize one SMART goal relevant to their area of change

Have you ever felt like your nervous system was on overdrive? Maybe it made sense to you or maybe there was no “logical” explanation? If you are wondering how to downregulate and redirect your brain from stressful and consuming thoughts, this class is for you.
Maybe you serve a population that experiences stress and you would like to bring your skills to the next level and be able to offer them resources to help them find calm in those moments – we got you here!
Grounding Techniques are body-based tools to help you or your patients/clients “ground” in difficult, stressful, or traumatic moments. In this class, Krysta Dancy teaches you how to ground yourself or another from the “top, down”.
What is Grounding? Taking the neuroscience of understanding the way our brain and body communicate with one another and using that knowledge to communicate a sense of safety and calm to our brain. They are specific techniques to regulate our nervous system so that our fight and flight (sympathetic nervous system) and rest and digest (parasympathetic nervous system) can respond appropriately to the scenario at hand so that ultimately your brain can rest.
This class is an excellent supplement to Preventing Trauma Level 1 & Level 2, as well as Healing Trauma in the Birth Professional.

Are you a senior nursing student or a new grad that wants Labor & Delivery?
Are you nervous about finding jobs and interviewing?
This class will guide you in building a resume and portfolio.
Who is the plaintiff’s attorney and what exactly does the defense do? The legal process in medical malpractice can sound very overwhelming and a land of the unknown.
There may be a time in your journey as a nurse that you witness an adverse outcome or are named as a fact witness in a lawsuit. This can be frightening and anxiety-provoking.
In this class, we will go step by step as to what to expect through the whole process of observing/being involved in the adverse event and what the typical steps are during the time when a lawsuit is filed. You will gather knowledge of the discovery phase of the process, who is your legal team, what they do to get you prepped for the case, and the deposition process and trial.
Spoiler alert! You can be involved in a lawsuit without an adverse event that occurs if the family or patient alleges that an injury occurred during the patient’s care.
This class is pertinent to anyone who cares for patients whether you are an LPN, RN, APRN, CNM, CRNA, or PA
Learning Objectives
1. Participants will understand key players involved in every lawsuit (defendant, plaintiff, witness)
2. Participants will be able to identify the anatomy of a lawsuit
3. Participant will be able to define the standard of care
4. Participant will be able to identify key components to the deposition process
5. Participants will be able to identify key components of the trial process
