    Does anyone have any specific training for RN's to perform NST's in office that do not have L&D background or have gone through AWOHNN fetal monitor training?

    To perform NST's they only need basic fetal monitoring

    See the thread from 3/6/24 discussing the liability of having non-RN's do this. 

    Here is a link to the 2024 AWHONN position statement covering fetal monitoring
