Dear participants:

Thank you for your registration for AWHONN’s (Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses) Intermediate Fetal Monitoring Course on 10/07/2026 at St. Luke’s Birth Care Center, Simulation Classroom (just to the right as you enter the front doors of the Birth Care Center). The schedule is listed below. You will need to read a copy of the 6th edition AWHONN Fetal Heart Monitoring Principles and Practices. St. Luke’s employees I will put one in your mailbox. This is required reading before the course. The instructions for the Pre-requisite portion are included in this email (on the inside cover of your workbook as well) .  You must complete the online portion by 2359 two days before the Instructor-led In-person portion. You will receive CEU’s after the completion of the online exam and evaluation.

Meals are NOT provided with this course; we can eat in the cafeteria where you may purchase your own food or you may bring lunch. Another option is for us to put in an order to Jimmy John’s and we can do that first thing in the morning so that it will be delivered at our lunch time. Please feel free to bring your own drinks and snacks in as well. Please let me know if you have any questions at all. Thanks, Rachel
