Message from the NH Coordinating Team

AWHONN is recognized as the leading organization promoting the health of women and newborns. Your NH Coordinating Team fosters this mission by planning educational programs to meet your professional needs. We are always interested in hearing from you about topics and issues that you'd like our team to focus on as we plan NH AWHONN conferences. Please contact one of the Coordinating Team members with your ideas or if you'd like to become involved.

Who is the NH Coordinating Team?
Our team is made up of perinatal staff nurses, clinical leaders, educators, managers and directors from large, midsize and small delivery services in the region. We feel that this diversity of members is vital in planning programs that meet your educational needs. Please Contact Us if you would like to join this planning team.

We are very excited about the upcoming perinatal programs planned. We focus on meeting core educational competencies in perinatal nursing. Throughout this next year we will continue to offer Basic Fetal Monitoring and Post Anesthesia Care for the Cesarean-delivered Woman. Both have been well attended and well received in the region.

S.T.A.B.L.E. continues to be a very strong program with focused learning about stabilizing the sick newborn. Taught by Lisa McNerney, RN, BSJ, MA, clinical staff educator for Pediatrics/Nursery at Parkland Medical Center, Derry, NH, this program is an engaging and thorough approach to understanding care of the baby likely to go on to a higher level of care.
