What do Perinatal Nurse Practitioners do?
Perinatal Nurse Practitioners (PNPs) are advanced practice registered nurses who specialize in caring for women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, including both healthy and high-risk pregnancies.
They provide advanced assessment, diagnostic, and treatment skills across various settings, including hospitals and community health centers.

Specialized Scope of Practice: PNP’s possess in-depth knowledge of high-risk pregnancy, including cultural, spiritual, and ethical considerations, and can perform advanced technical skills such as basic ultrasound and internal monitoring.
Patient Care: They provide comprehensive care to pregnant women and their families, offering support, education, and comprehensive health assessments.
High-Risk Focus: PNPs are crucial for managing high-risk pregnancies resulting from conditions such as diabetes, autoimmune disorders, or previous pregnancy complications, and they work in various settings, including hospitals and clinics.
Collaboration: They serve as expert case managers and patient advocates, fostering cooperation and communication among multidisciplinary teams, including physicians and allied health providers.
