Is This Course Right For You?

Your postpartum patient is becoming tachycardic. She’s short of breath. Her bleeding picks up.

You notify the provider… but what else should you be doing?

  • The reality is, many nurses are left without the tools or confidence to manage postpartum deterioration.
  •  Subtle changes in vital signs, or early indicators of conditions like pulmonary edema or sepsis, can be difficult to recognize—yet they may signal a patient at risk for rapid decline.
      

Our Care of the High-Risk Postpartum Patient course addresses this gap. It equips you with the clinical awareness and decision-making tools to act early, act appropriately, and act confidently.

What This Course Will Do for You

The postpartum period is not the end of risk—it’s often the most vulnerable phase for maternal complications. This course addresses the most critical conditions that can arise in postpartum patients, with practical clinical strategies for bedside care.

  • Postpartum hemorrhage

  • Hypertensive disorders, including preeclampsia and eclampsia
