Class Enrollment

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP)  materials are based on the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (Pediatrics. 2021;147[Suppl 1]. doi:1542. e2020038505E).  Please refer to the guidelines published October 2020 they are based on the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Science with Treatment Recommendations.  

NRP is an educational program that introduces the concepts and basic skill of neonatal resuscitation.

 

The NRP 8th edition offers two NRP provider categories:

NRP Essentials: Anyone involved in the care of a newborn should take NRP Essentials, which consists of materials in lessons 1-4.

NRP Advanced:  This provider option may be appropriate for those who attend births and are responsible for anticipated resuscitation of the newborn with known risk factors and for those who participate in neonatal resuscitation beyond positive-pressure ventilation.  The NRP Advanced participant is responsible for lessons 1-11

 

 

In hospital instructor-led course format, learners must complete the On-Line learning Assessment and, within 90 days, attend the in-person skills/simulation portion of the course. During the in-person skills session learners demonstrate mastery of resuscitation skills (lessons 2-4 for Essentials and Lessons 2-7 for Advanced) and participate in simulated resuscitation scenarios, as determined by the course instructor(s). 

 

Part 1: Learners must visit https://nrplearningplatform.com/about-aap and purchase the On-line Learning Assessment course. This is              separate from our in-person skills/simulation assessment.

Part 2: Learners complete the in-person skills/simulation assessment at Holy Name Medical Center.
