Aishah Mandeel, DNP, MSN, RN, CPNP, RNC-OB, C-EFM
Registered nurse since 2014. Board certified nurse practitioner since 2019. Clinical nursing instructor since 2018 — and a doctoral education as the culmination of four degrees.
Teaching the way I'd want to be taught
I enjoy educating others in an interactive and engaging way that keeps your attention while also being concise and to the point. That is not a slogan — it is the reason the classes are small, the equipment is in your hands, and nothing gets explained twice because the room was too big to notice the first time.
My background is in maternal child health, with experience in labor and delivery, pediatric primary care and pediatric urgent care. That mix means I teach the resuscitation skills and the human context together: what the algorithm says, and what it feels like at 3 a.m. when the person in front of you is someone's mother, someone's newborn, someone's whole family.
“Passionate about providing holistic, family-centred, evidence-based care for my patients — and providing the most up to date, evidence-based education available to my students.”
Whether you are taking a certification because a job requires it, because a unit depends on you, or because you are about to welcome a baby into your own family, my job is the same: you should leave able to do it — not merely able to recognise it.

What those letters mean
Doctor of Nursing Practice — the culmination of four degrees, and a clinical doctorate focused on applying evidence at the bedside.
Master of Science in Nursing and registered nurse since 2014, with a maternal child health focus.
Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner — board certified since 2019, practising in pediatric primary and urgent care.
Registered Nurse Certified in Inpatient Obstetric Nursing — the national certification for labor and delivery.
Certified in Electronic Fetal Monitoring — NICHD terminology and fetal tracing interpretation.
Clinical nursing instruction, in person, with hands-on skills sign-off across every course taught here.
Twelve seats, and no more.
Every class on this site is capped at 12 attendees. That number exists so there is always equipment under your hands, a voice you can hear, and time for your actual questions — the ones that come from the unit you work on, not from a slide.
Hands on the equipment
Manikins, AED trainers, BVMs and — for NRP and fetal monitoring — the real skill stations. Not a demonstration you watch from a chair.
Interactive, then concise
Engaging delivery, point-to-point content. You will not sit through an eight-hour video library to earn a card you could have practised your way to.
Taught by a clinician
Labor and delivery, pediatric primary care, pediatric urgent care — the scenarios are drawn from shifts, not from a script.
