Mohawk College’s Registered Practical Nurse – Maternal Newborn Nursing program is designed to provide RPNs with specialized knowledge and skills in perinatal nursing. This program offers a comprehensive study of the care required for mothers, newborns, and families from preconception through to six weeks postpartum. With a strong focus on evidence-based practice, physiology, and nursing management, students will learn to deliver safe, effective, and compassionate care to families during this critical period.
Through a blend of theoretical learning and hands-on clinical experience, the program emphasizes maternal assessments, newborn complications, and family-centered care. Students will also explore the importance of problem recognition, newborn health issues, and effective interventions in both routine and high-risk scenarios. By the end of the program, graduates will be well-prepared to provide competent care to mothers and newborns and will be equipped to enter a variety of perinatal nursing roles. Additionally, the program prepares students to pursue neonatal resuscitation certification and enhances their ability to support the well-being of families in the perinatal phase.
