Studying For The Obstetric & Neonatal Quality & Safety Certification Exam?
You’re in the Right Place!
Current Work and Website Goals:
Jeanette is currently creating a study guide for the Obstetric and Neonatal Quality and Safety certification exam through the National Certification Corporation. The goal is to create a guide with all the necessary information in a simple and interesting manner. This book will be useful for nurses who work in the field and may not be familiar with the quality/safety topics, or for nurse leaders who need to review concepts they may not use every day. Articles will be posted on a weekly basis on this website and sent out via email if you join the email group. I will be looking for feedback on the articles to help me better understand the needs of the readers and to help tailor the guide to meet these needs.
