NRP is an education program of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Heart Association (AHA) which 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 midwives, licensed midwives, respiratory care practitioners, and other health care professionals who provide direct care during neonatal resuscitation. Before attending a hands-on course (Instructor-Led Event), the learner is responsible for acquiring the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 7th Edition, 2016 and completing all 11 lessons of the online examination*. During the Instructor-Led Event, the learner will complete skills stations and participate in simulation and debriefing. The Performance Skills Station provides an opportunity to practice or review technical hands-on resuscitation skills with instructor assistance. The Integrated Skills Station allows the instructor(s) to facilitate more than one scenario and evaluate the learner's readiness for simulation and debriefing. The instructor will not coach, assist, or interrupt during a scenario.
Simulation and debriefing provides a safe setting in which to integrate cognitive and technical skills, and focus on team communication and patient safety.
*The online examination on the AAP website must be completed within but no more than 90 days before attending an NRP Instructor-led skills evaluation. A copy of your completed test must be turned in to the Education Office no less than 2 business days prior to your scheduled class. The cost of the online exam through the AAP website is $35.00. This is an upfront fee that must be paid to the AAP through their website.
