Northwest Perinatal Resource Network

About NWPRN

In 2000 a group of perinatal managers and educators met and discussed the feasibility of pooling resources to provide programs to meet the needs of entry level perinatal nurses within a large metropolitan community. A perinatal consortium was subsequently formed consisting of educators from five local hospitals. The Northwest Perinatal Resource Network (NWPRN)was established.

Our Purpose

The purposes identified by NWPRN are to capitalize on and combine the rich professional and educational resources in the community. Additionally, NWPRN has developed two mainstay programs, founded on AWHONN, ACOG, and community standards to enhance perinatal education and care in the region.

NWPRN programs include core curriculum consortium-style educational offerings in:

  • Introduction to Perinatal and Neonatal Nursing
  • Intermediate Neonatal Care
I appreciated the hands-on learning and simulation opportunities.
The instructors were wonderful and knowledgeable speakers. They had a great concept of who the learners were in the room and focused each topic accordingly.
The case studies and real life stories relating to the topics discussed were inspiring.
I loved the interaction with the students.
The instructors were amazing and extremely knowledgeable about the information they presented.
Thanks for giving actual info on what a new RN needs to know to do the job including patient teaching.
The instructors did an excellent job of presenting, they kept it interesting and lively and kept my attention throughout the presentations on 4 hours of sleep!! Thanks for the stories and good info!

Relevance

The relevance of NWPRN consortium education is in providing Oregon and SW Washington perinatal nurses with quality, evidence-based didactic curriculum to support their clinical practice. The implication is that perinatal patients cared for by nurses educated within this consortium environment receive high level, quality nursing care.
