Add to your professional practice the mastery of rapid tests and other tests that facilitate the diagnosis of infectious diseases in the neonatal period"

Obstetric and Neonatal Emergencies for Nursing are critical situations that require quick and efficient attention from health personnel, especially nurses. These professionals must be prepared and up to date with the most effective strategies to deal with complications such as postpartum hemorrhage, eclampsia, sepsis, shoulder dystocia in the newborn, neonatal resuscitation, among others. At the same time, scientific and technological advances in recent years have placed within their reach valuable work tools such as clinical training simulators. On the other hand, many nurses face the challenge of keeping their skills up to date in a context where theoretical and conventional syllabus prevails, leaving aside the acquisition of concrete skills.

Faced with this educational challenge, TECH has created this 100% practical and on-site internship program that offers you the most innovative content in this area. In particular, it examines the uses of devices and skills such as infusion pump programming and patient monitoring using oxygen saturation monitors. For this on-site learning, the student has 3 weeks and, during this time, will travel to a renowned hospital center. In this facility, they will apply state-of-the-art nursing methods from day one.

Moreover, these therapeutic strategies will be destined to the care of real patients, with different pathologies that must be attended from the emergency services. During this intensive and immersive period, participants will receive personalized guidance from a carefully selected assistant tutor. In addition, the other experts of the center where this clinical practice takes place will assist you with your doubts and will offer you first level advice and counseling.
