NEONATAL RESUSCITATION PROGRAM

Course Director: Dr. Jackie Thomas, DNP, MSN, CFRN, CEN, C-NPT

Neonatal Resuscitation Program: Services

The NRP Provider Course introduces the concepts and basic skills of neonatal resuscitation. It is designed for health care professionals involved in any aspect of neonatal resuscitation, including physicians, nurses, advanced practice nurses, nurse midwi​​ves, licensed midwives, respiratory care practitioners, and other health care professionals who provide direct care during neonatal resuscitation. 

 

We offer NRP, 8th Edition. This new version introduces a new educational methodology to better meet the needs of health care professionals who manage the newly born baby.

​

Essentials or Advanced

For the 8th edition of NRP there are two different types of Provider: Essentials and Advanced.  NRP Essentials covers lessons 1 through 4 of the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 8th Edition. Anyone who is involved in the care of a newborn should take NRP Essentials. NRP Advanced covers lessons 1 through 11 of the textbook.  It is appropriate for those who attend births and are responsible for anticipated resuscitation of a newborn with known risk factors, and for those who participate in neonatal resuscitation beyond positive-pressure ventilation.

 

Each organization will determine its own policy for who should attain NRP Essentials or NRP Advanced provider status. Check with your institution if you are unsure about which NRP level to take.
