With the aim of strengthening knowledge and skills in newborn care, Patan Academy of Health Science (PAHS) organized a Continuing Nursing and Midwifery Education (CNME) session on “Helping Baby Breathe (HBB)” at Patan Hospital, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM on Monday, 2083-06-05.
The CNME was conducted by BMS 3rd Year, 3rd batch students (MANJU MAGAR, PURNIMA SHAKYA, LUMA ALE MAGAR, PUJA SHAKYA, PREETI SHAH AND BARSHA PURI). Through effective teamwork and coordination, the students successfully translated their leadership and management learning into practice. The program brought together 38 nursing professionals, including the Nursing Director, Assistant Nursing Director, Nursing Supervisor, faculty members, and nursing staff. One of the major highlights was the Golden Minute, emphasizing that every second is critical when a newborn needs help to breathe. The session further addressed preparation for newborn resuscitation and the essential equipment needed to provide immediate care. To connect theoretical learning with clinical practice, the students conducted a step-by-step demonstration of the HBB procedure.
The program concluded with a post-test followed by a feedback session, where participants actively shared their views and experiences. Their constructive feedback highlighted the strengths of the session and provided the organizing students with an opportunity to reflect on their performance and identify areas for further improvement in conducting future educational programs. More than an academic activity, the CNME program became an opportunity for learning, leadership, and shared professional growth.
