Worth Every Penny

“I recently purchased the Complete Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Baby Online Course Bundle which includes extra courses such as Infant Safety & CPR. So far I've been really impressed with the quality of the content. As a nurse, having the instructors explain topics with both medical and layman's terms makes it easier for me and my non-medical husband to understand. The flexibility to watch on our own time made it doable with our unpredictable schedules. I'm so glad we purchased it!”
