On this podcast episode, Happy with Bundle Birth Nurses, Sarah is joined with Bundle Birth educators, Jen Atkisson and Heidi Nielsen, and National Certification Corporation (NCC) item writer and subject matter expert, Whitney Wells for a conversation about the RNC-OB exam development process. As experts on the Registered Nurse Certified (RNC) Obstetric exam, they discuss the process and strategies for preparing for the exam. This includes the importance of studying the provided resources rather than just relying on clinical experience.

They also cover the continuing competency assessment, which evaluates nurses' ongoing knowledge and identifies areas for further education. Overall, the conversation aims to demystify the RNC certification process, make it super accessible and encourage you that this is the next step in your career!
