The North Puget Sound Perinatal Education Consortium provides a collaborative framework for planning, implementing, and evaluating a basic orientation program for newly hired and cross-trained perinatal nurses. The program currently provides 9 days of prenatal, labor and delivery, mother-infant couplet, and neonatal didactic orientation at no cost to registrants from participating hospitals. Consortium hospitals supply instruction time and additional services to support this high-quality, regional, perinatal orientation program.
