Labor and delivery nurses play an essential role in ensuring healthy, satisfying birth and breastfeeding initiation. The Lamaze Evidence-Based Labor Support Workshop educates labor and delivery nurses to create the bridge between knowledge and practice. Continuing Nursing Education Credits (CNE) and 7.50 Lamaze Contact Hours are awarded.

“Nurses are very excited to attend this workshop where we practice hands-on techniques for easing labor and achieving vaginal delivery. We use a wide variety of tools and techniques such as aroma therapy, rebozo techniques, massage, and positioning with birth and peanut balls. These techniques can make all the difference!”
