It is time to dive deep into the heart of one of the most critical aspects of labor & delivery! Join us for an exclusive class led by none other than THE premier expert in Pitocin, Jen Atkisson. In this class, we’ll explore the intricate web of Pitocin use, uncovering its profound impact on patient safety, medical-legal liability, and nursing job satisfaction.

Pitocin, a double-edged sword in maternal healthcare, holds the potential for both healing and harm. Despite its pervasive presence in labor induction and augmentation, it remains a prime culprit behind the majority of birth injury lawsuits. Designated as a High Alert Medication by the ISMP in 2007, Pitocin’s usage trends paint a sobering picture of technological safeguards failing to shield patients from harm consistently.

But fear not, for in the midst of this challenge lies an opportunity for transformation. Through meticulous analysis and evidence-based insights, Jen Atkisson will guide you towards a new paradigm in Pitocin administration—one that prioritizes safety, satisfaction, and holistic care. Together, we’ll dissect trends, decipher evidence, and craft strategies to mitigate preventable harm, reducing lawsuits while enhancing nurse and patient contentment

With a staggering 50% induction or augmentation rate looming over our current practice, now is the time for change. Join us as we embark on a journey towards safer, more fulfilling care practices. By the end of this class, you’ll emerge equipped with the knowledge and confidence to administer Pitocin safely, effectively, and in alignment with the highest standards of care.

Don’t miss your chance to learn from the best in the field. Secure your spot today and revolutionize your approach to Pitocin administration with Jen Atkisson’s expert guidance.

Jen Atkisson

Nurse Educator, MSN, RNC-OB, CNL Driven by her passion to help nurses connect to their professional identity as a patient advocate, Jen has dedicated her career to educating nurses at all stages in their career–from new grads to nurses that are decades in. When she’s not at the bedside caring for patients, she works as an independent educator on various nursing and legal topics, serves as an expert witness in hundreds of cases, and is an AWHONN Fetal Monitoring Instructor Trainer. A Labor & Delivery, Postpartum and Nursery/Resuscitation nurse since 2007, Jen draws on these experiences to create educational content and classes that are empowering and memorable.

I am new to L&D, less than a year experience in the specialty and I am trying to learn as much information for not only my own knowledge but for my patient's safety as well. This class just opened the door to a whole lot more knowledge.

This class provided a whole new way of looking at Pitocin and understanding the whole labor loop better.

Bianca O.

As a new nurse, I'm so grateful for this information. Jen really made it black and white for me, taking the guess work out of my nursing care despite so many differing opinions within my unit. This will really improve my nursing practice and give me the confidence to do what's best for my patients. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to take a class like this and sharing all your knowledge! This is so valuable to my practice.

Bethany W.

This was my first ever Bundle Birth class. It was so helpful (even as a seasoned nurse) to go back to the basics and refresh myself as to why I do what I do when I do. It gave me a sense of power to take forward to future provider interactions. I always knew what I was doing was right but I never could articulate it when asked. Thank you!!

Carrie G.

This is such a good course, even for experienced nurses as a refresher! I learned a lot. thank you!

Desirae M.

Thank you Jen and Bundle Birth Nurses for this much needed class. I previously took it and LOVE the additions in this latest version. I am LIVING for this collaboration and ecstatic to know Jen is officially a BBN educator. You all have fundamentally changed my practice at the bedside. Can't wait to continue learning from you!

Jen does a great job of explaining complex subjects simply. This class was very educational. I will recommend it to my coworkers!

Magdalyn G.

This was a wonderful class and very helpful. I think it will help me better communicate with my colleagues and advocate for my patients. I feel much more confident in my skills regarding pitocin.

Raine C.

I appreciated learning the history at the beginning of the class which reinforces that the use of pitocin was not always the norm! The review of the differences in endogenous (especially how the fetus contributes!) and exogenous oxytocin was so helpful! Loved the entire class. I will most definitely be sharing this resource with our new educator, but I may also ask our director (non-L&D trained) to consider taking a class or two so she can better understand our roles as bedside nurses and speak our language and be better able to support us.

Sherry L.

Loved it. Jen was very clear & easy to follow & understand. The content was great. I wish everyone that does L&D at my facility would take this class.
