Abstract:
When a major urban hospital received notice it would no longer have resident physicians to serve its perinatal population, nurses and physicians joined forces with a private university to develop a curriculum for advanced level caregivers. This willingness to rise to a challenge helped to create the Perinatal Nurse Practitioner Program and has paved the way for other needed inpatient nurse practitioner roles.
