FAQ
POEP is a clinical program that provides continuing nursing education (CNE) and nursing contact hours. It is designed to provide nurses with theoretical knowledge needed to provide holistic, family-centered care to women, their newborns, and family members during the preconception, antepartum, intrapartum, and postpartum periods.
The program is targeted toward registered nurses who are new to perinatal nursing, including graduate nurses and those who are experienced, but new to the perinatal care setting. The content can also be used as continued education for experienced perinatal nurses.
The didactic content is a component of a comprehensive perinatal nursing program. It should be accompanied by guided clinical experience to permit real-time integration and application of the concepts and information presented.
POEP is available through the AWHONN Learning Center. It is fully narrated, and consists of fifteen (15) modules of content. Each module is then divided into segments so that learners can be assigned smaller bits information.
The nursing contact hours expire on June 30, 2024. After the nursing contact hour expiration date, the testing site will be unavailable and nurses will not be able to receive nursing contact hours for completing the education.
Primary hospital access to POEP begins once AWHONN processes payment for POEP and forwards the order to the AWHONN Learning Center. Access is valid for three (3) years from the date your order is set up in the AWHONN Learning Center.
Please allow (10) business days from the date your order is forwarded to the Learning Center to receive access to POEP.
