The Neonatal Resuscitation Program® (NRP®) course conveys an evidence-based approach to care and resuscitation of the newborn at birth and facilitates effective team-based care for healthcare professionals from prehospital to level 4 NICU’s who care for newborns at the time of delivery.
The Neonatal Resuscitation Program allows the AAP NRP online learning to be completed within 90 days prior to attending the NRP Course instructor led event. Prior to the online learning, the textbook Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th Edition must be studied.
Throughout the online learning, each learner will be required to review all 11 chapters and prove competence. The online learning is in two parts (Essentials and/or Advanced). You may find it helpful to visit the Neonatal Resuscitation Program Provider Website.
If books are unavailable from your employer, you may order the textbook directly from the American Academy of Pediatrics Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th Edition, or call (888) 227-1770. You may also find a more cost-effective option to buy or rent through Amazon.
We provide the required hands-on interactive part of the course. You will successfully pass the course and receive an e-card after you:
- Provide your certificate verifying that you passed the 1-part (Essentials) or 2-part online learning (Essentials & Advanced).
- Demonstrate the skills required within the context of a clinical scenario in correct sequence according to the NRP flow diagram, with correct timing and proper technique.
- Participate in simulation training and debriefing exercises.
