Self-Paced Fertility Educator

Andrea Schanandore

BSN, RN, MMCP

I graduated from NDSU in 2010. My career in Nursing has been in the Inpatient hospital setting since then. I'm a Marquette Method of NFP certified instructor and have been teaching since 2015. I'm a farm girl from Western ND that made my way to the big city of Fargo to earn my degree in Nursing in 2010. This is where I met my husband Tom. After a few years we moved back to Bismarck/Mandan area and now are raising our 6 kids, 20 chickens, and quarter acre garden . We have practiced NFP our entire marriage to avoid and achieve pregnancy in order to space our children. I've been teaching NFP since 2015 both locally to ND as well as across the nation and internationally into Canada and even Germany. What I love about teaching NFP is being able to walk with couples through the different stages of their reproductive journey; engaged, breastfeeding/postpartum, and into perimenopause. A special relationship can be cultivated through these transitional times. I also enjoy being able to provide an Educational, healthy and holistic option for reproductive health.
