This area of nursing focuses on the care of childbearing families, including pregnancy-care and monitoring, newborn care and assessments, and guidance for new parents.

The best way to succeed in your maternity nursing class is to combine different learning modalities:
First, deep-dive into the topics with video lessons and master the key concepts with Lecturio’s concise cheat sheets.
Next, apply what you’ve learned to practical situations by answering clinical case questions in the Qbank.
Lastly, make sure you retain information long-term by regularly reviewing your knowledge with Spaced-Repetition quizzes.

Lecturio’s Maternity Nursing course prepares you for the care of a childbearing family with numerous learning videos, Spaced-Repetition quizzes and concise cheat sheets. Your educators have practical clinical experience and explain even difficult topics understandably: from neurotransmitters and hormones all the way through to the stages of labor and fetal monitoring. Answering the NCLEX®-style questions prepares you to ace your exams from the start.

Nursing Care of the Childbearing Family is a highly sensitive topic, which needs much empathy and skill. This course includes an integrative, family-centered approach to the care of child-bearing women and newborns. The focus is on normal and high-risk pregnancies, normal and abnormal growth and development, family dynamics, and the promotion of healthy behaviors in patients. The lecture series also covers every stage of pregnancy, labor and delivery, recovery, self management, newborn care, and parenting. It also includes physical and psychological care through all stages of pregnancy, childbirth and up to the first 6 weeks after birth.
