Submission Description:
Obstetric nurses are well oriented to care for laboring mothers and newborns. Although the orientation may be thorough, some clinical situations may not be possible to experience due to their rare occurrences. However, nurses must be prepared to perform flawlessly for a positive outcome. The purpose of this presentation is to describe a rare event training program model that results in readiness to provide the most favorable outcomes for the mother and the baby.
