*NEW* Transforming the Birth Experience:

The Art and Science of Patient-Centered Care (formerly) Live Colorfully Class

In today’s world of burnout, distrust, misinformation, rising patient expectations, and complex clinical realities, OB nurses are carrying more than ever. This class is designed to help nurses rediscover the art of nursing while improving the patient experience.

This inspiring and practical class explores how nurses can use their presence, communication, curiosity, bias interruption, active listening, respect, support, and shared decision-making skills to influence safety, trust, satisfaction, and outcomes. Through a broader look at the current state of obstetrics, the history that shaped where we are today, and the patient’s lifelong memory of becoming a parent, learners will be challenged and equipped to move from survival mode into meaningful, patient-centered influence.

The Transforming the Birth Experience Class was created for labor and delivery nurses, but also relevant for nurses across all specialties. This class will help participants see themselves not just as caregivers, but as powerful interventions in the patient experience.

Transforming the Birth Experience: The Art and Science of Patient-Centered Care (formerly Live Colorfully Class) brings most of our MOVE Learning Retreat Content directly to your home, so you, too, can live a colorful life.

Highly recommend

This is not just another boring powerpoint or hospital training you click through. The class is taught by an experienced professional with positive enthusiasm and passion to improve nursing care and outcomes for the birthing person. This class both informative and interactive. I felt supported as a labor nurse and experienced a large community of labor nurses with the same goal to improve care. Not only was I was learning, I was recharging and filling my cup so full I could pour into the cups of my patients and coworkers, which is exactly what the Bundle Birth team set out to do for everyone attending. In months prior to attending this class I had such a strong desire to learn how to better communicate with patients and better care for and support my patients, especially those who have gone through eventful experiences. I knew I could do better and wanted to do more for my patients but didn't know how. I had no idea this class would provide me with the tools I needed that no other class has provided thus far.

I can confidently go into my practice focusing on centering the patient experience

Everyone needs to attend this class!! After class, I can confidently go into my practice focusing on centering the patient experience. Their perspective matters and my care should build around the patient's knowledge, values, and needs regardless of the outcome.

This course was fantastic

This course was fantastic - It encouraged me and I hope it does for you too. This class gave me so many tidbits of information that I had to start another page of notes! Sarah's enthusiasm is contagious and her way of explaining these topics was awesome. I especially enjoyed her calling out that we may have done things in the past but we know better now. We can speak up and ensure that our patients feel heard.

Great no matter how much experience you have!

Great skills can be obtained from attending this class as an L&D RN no matter how much experience you have! I loved how everything is evidence-based yet also taps into the creative artsy side of nursing. I learned communication techniques that can enhance patient safety, satisfaction, and cooperation during labor and delivery.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

This class was an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and I wish that my entire unit could attend. I know this content was created to ensure that we provide the best care for our patients as well as ourselves. It is so necessary to improve maternal and fetal outcomes as well as our own job satisfaction.

This class was so valuable

This class was valuable in that it taught how to work better with the patient as a team, to show the patients and their family members that we are on their side, and how to make sure the patient feels like an active participant in their care and is seen and heard.
