Note: Final contract amount depends on number and format of associated workshops, to be determined with successful candidate. Contract will be for a minimum of 1.5 SCH for co-instruction of the theory portion of the course. This course is delivered online, with in-person workshop(s) at location(s) to be determined with successful candidate and based on student cohort composition for the course.

This course spans the antenatal, intrapartum and post-partum continuum focusing on the perinatal skills and competencies required for nurses to support women and their families through low-risk, normal pregnancies.

This course involves a workshop and practicum, which are both mandatory. Prior to the practicum, RNCP and Post-Diploma students must provide proof of certification in the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) and the Fetal Health Surveillance course (FHS).

Candidates with a minimum BScN, MScN preferred, and current registration as a Practicing RN with the BCCNM is preferred, are encouraged to apply. For this co-instructor position, we are specifically seeking someone with current, rural and northern perinatal clinical experience.
