https://www.awhonn.org/awhonn/I am a member of AWHONN which is the governing body behind Women's Health. They provide valuable resources related to all aspects involving women's health care. I am utilizing their case study on Preeclampsia to assist with my distance education project. Being part of an professional organization keeps everything current related to your given field. It also gives you a voice and numbers to support the important issues under discussion or debate. I have listed below all the valuable resources this organization provides to nurses involved in women's health. It was extremely helpful when we had our policy course with Dr Bishop. Being part of a professional organization i feel is something we should discuss more with our students. They need a more global picture of nursing related to ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses, Politics, standards, and policies and procedures. Being part of a nursing organization aids in promoting the important information. Many organizations also have reduced costs for students and new graduates. AWHONN provides excellent rationals on their position statements regarding patient care and procedures. They also provide educational material to hospitals, physician office's and schools. They are the authority when it comes to fetal monitoring. No matter where you are employed there is an organization that will focus on your specialty area. Being part of an organization will not only benefit you, but may also aid in your educational and nursing practices.
