        DISCLAIMER: This content is designed to enhance the study of nursing. This content is generic and is not designed to take into account the specific objectives, needs, and/or circumstances of any particular region or country. To become a nurse, learners must successfully complete a program of study approved by the government or state-regulatory agency in their place of residence. We cannot guarantee that the successful completion of these materials will enable you to practice in your place of residence. Make sure that you are in compliance with the scope of practice of your regulatory body before attempting to put into use or practice any of the knowledge gained.


        This Maternal Health Course provides comprehensive instruction to the student on the concepts and principles for providing patient and family-friendly nursing care to women during normal pregnancy through the ante-natal, natal, and postnatal periods in hospitals and rural community settings. The goal is to provide a holistic nursing emphasis on the bio-psycho-socio-cultural-spiritual needs of the pregnant woman and her family during the phases of pregnancy, childbirth, and the neonatal period common to populations in both the minority and majority world populations. 

        Global nursing scope of practice varies widely depending on the country, national, regional government, and professional regulatory agencies.  In an attempt to be relevant to the entire global nursing community, this course addresses nursing skills and practice on several levels. It is the nurse’s responsibility to know what particular regulations apply to their area of practice. 

        The Maternal Health Course is a competency-based course developed in partnership with Nurses International (NI) and NextGenU.org (NGU).  Competencies were developed in collaboration with maternal health and public health subject matter experts. The Essentials: Core Competencies for Professional Nursing Education direct the course objectives. The course uses learning resources from accredited world-class organizations such as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. National Institutes of Health,  the World Health Organization,  universities, international guidelines, and peer-reviewed journals.  The Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) is utilized for facilitating distance learning. The course was designed by NextGenU’s Instructional Design team and Nurses International’s team members with particular thanks to Kathleen Capone MS, RN CNE, EdD; Stephanie Marfurt Ph.D., ARNP-BC; Renee Marg DNP, RN; Sarah Bohling MSN, RN, APRN-NCNS; Aundrea Bevis, RN, BSN, MPH; and Melissa Turner, DNP, RN, FNP-C.
