About Ultrasound Training:
Limited OB Ultrasound training requires both Didactic study and Clinical competency demonstration: RNNCEs offers you the most affordable options to complete and demonstrate didactic mastery (including a post test with a certificate of mastery on passage) and to practice scanning skills with simulation. Check off requirements do not have a national standard. We would refer you to the AWHONN new fifth edition updated Guide, and your unit policy.
Previously we had Didactic opportunities as live in person Seminars; however, with mandated changes brought on due to Covid-19, we found greater accessibility with the online format. You can have individualized assistance as needed by request with our programs.
We recommend that you personally assess your didactic and clinical ultrasound background education and experience, how you will utilize this new skill set clinically, as well as the descriptions of the webinars, workbook, and modules on our site before purchase from our Ultrasound Training Menu. If you need assistance navigating your personal learning plan email info@rnnces.com for a complimentary assessment and guidance.
For all potenital customers, but especially if YOU WORK FOR KAISER in California, or are following a recuiters directions for a role there, please read carefully ,
and if you have any questions please email for assistance. info@rnnces.com.
If you have likely been told that you need to show certification or mastery in “Second and Third Trimester Ultrasound”.
We find a need for further explanation of our products.
1. There is no national “certification” available for nurses in LImited Ob Ultrasound.
2. RNNCEs follows the guidelines from AWHONN for this clinical skill for RNs in establishing their educational products in Limited Ultrasound.
3. You will recieve certificates for your completed study and approriate CE credits.
4. There is a Post Test available, that certificate will state “Didactic Mastery in Limited OB Ultrasound”
If you have no previous Ultrasound training, even if you have been shown how to use an Ultrasound;
We STRONGLY suggest that to best meet your needs, limit your frustration, and provide best patient care, that you choose the Complete Bundle.
If you have experience and need a refresher or documentation;
we suggest that you choose the Workbook, and/or Module that fits your clinical needs. Don’t just order by title read the content information below, or send an email to discuss. For instance, two simulation modules can meet the Second and Third Trimester requirement, we recommend you choose the UA Assessment for Fetal Growth in High Risk Pregnancy (Second and Third Trimester) if you will focus on AF measurement and BPP. Ultrasound Assessment in Second and Third Trimester has a focus towar biometry measurement.
The easiest step, and pricing discount, which matches the most frequently requested training, is to purchase the
Basic Ultrasound Webinar Complete Bundle. The bundle combines didactic and clinical simulation training. The complete bundle works well for those doing Antepartum testing and L&D Triage.
