Bleeding and Contraception
Description
This course is intended to introduce nurses, APRNs, and other healthcare professionals to abnormal uterine bleeding and the interplay with contraception.

Learn about how to use contraception to manage abnormal uterine bleeding, and how to manage unfavorable bleeding for patients using combination oral contraceptive pills, progestin-only pills, medroxyprogesterone acetate injections, intrauterine devices, and subdermal levonorgestrel implants.This course is available to NSRH Members.
