Obtaining C-EFM isn’t just about knowing definitions—it’s about recognizing patterns quickly, understanding what they mean in context, and responding appropriately in real time. This live, physiology-centered certification prep course is designed to help labor nurses sharpen pattern recognition, connect tracings to fetal oxygenation and labor progress, and approach the NCC exam with confidence

What We’ll Cover

This course follows the NCC C-EFM exam blueprint and emphasizes interpretation over labels, including:

• Core fetal oxygenation and acid–base physiology
• Autonomic nervous system influences on the fetal heart rate
• Baseline, variability, accelerations, and decelerations—in context
• Patterns over time and relationship to labor progress
• Category I, II, and III tracings (and why Category II deserves nuance)
• Intrauterine resuscitation strategies grounded in physiology
• Professional responsibilities, communication, and standards of care
• Practical test-taking strategies specific to the NCC C-EFM exam

Who This Class Is For

• Labor & delivery nurses eligible to sit for or renew the NCC C-EFM
• Nurses who want fetal monitoring to make sense, not just feel familiar
• Nurses who prefer understanding the why over memorizing definitions

Includes

• Access to the class recording for one month
• Downloadable digital workbook
• Pre- and post-tests
• Pop quizzes throughout the session to reinforce learning
