The University of North Dakota College of Nursing Expectant Family Program has over a thirty year history of service by upper division nursing students to expectant families in the area of Grand Forks. A change over time has been in the population of pregnant women who are now more often single and high risk. Student learning experiences include home visits, physical assessments, monitoring for danger signs, individualized instruction on prenatal and family health, attending clinic and Lamaze classes and support during labor and delivery. Anecdotal information consistently reveals positive impact on the family’s birthing experience and on the students’ learning.
