AWHONN Continuing Education

An accomplished nurse and former interim director of obstetrics, Judith Abraham has spent more than three decades working for hospitals and health care organizations in Wyoming and Illinois. Throughout her career in both Illinois and Wyoming, Judith Abraham has held membership in the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric, and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN). 

A registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit group, AWHONN stands out as one of the largest organizations devoted to the health of women and newborns. Through networking opportunities, research grants, and clinical resources, AWHONN enhances the professional profiles of its members and, in doing so, improves the nursing profession.

One of AWHONN’s primary goals is to provide ongoing education and training to its members. Though the organization does not maintain professional certification programs, it does offer a rich array of continuing nursing education (CNE) options. In-person offerings include courses on fetal heart monitoring and obstetric patient safety, with certificates of completion provided to participants who successfully fulfill the course requirements. 

Individuals also have an opportunity to take courses remotely through the AWHONN Online Learning Center (OLC). In addition to designated courses on topics such as critical care obstetrics education, the OLC features webinars throughout the year on a variety of changing topics.
