NRP Course Description
The Neonatal Resuscitation Program™ is an educational program that introduces the concepts and basic skills of neonatal resuscitation. This course has been designed to teach an evidence-based approach to resuscitation of the newborn. The causes, prevention, and management of mild to severe neonatal asphyxia are carefully explained so that health professionals may develop optimal knowledge and skill in resuscitation. Completion of the program does not imply that an individual has the competence to perform neonatal resuscitation. A comprehensive instructional textbook, which includes an interactive multi-media DVD-ROM, forms the basic educational component of the program
NRP Online Examination
The online examination replaces the written test. Providers will need to self-study the NRP Textbook, and complete the online examination prior to attending a course. Up to 9 hours of Continuing Education Credit will be offered for the examination for physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and emergency medical service professionals.
After online testing is complete, students receive a printout indicating which lessons have been successfully completed and the date of completion. The student will then present the printout within 30 days to the instructor for verification of completion. If the leaner fails one or more lessons on the online test, that lesson(s) may be retaken one time within 14 days. If a learner fails any lesson 2 or more times no printout is prepared and the learner must repay and must retake the entire exam.
Overview
The pre-evaluation:
Taking the exam:
*If you do not finish testing or cannot pass the test prior to the course start time, you may not attend the course.
Returning to the exam:
If you need to exit the exam and return during your 14 day window, you simply will:
If you completed the exam and need to get a copy of your exam verification form.
After completing the examination, you will receive an exam verification form. Bring this with you to the NRP course and give to your instructor. If you cannot produce an exam verification form, you cannot attend the course.
To obtain Continuing Education Credit, you must enter your licensure information in your HealthStream record. To enter this information:
*If you have completed the exam and did not enter your licensure information beforehand, you may add this information later.
The text facilitates the self-study to help students prepare for the mandatory online examination that replaces the traditional written test. It also complements the simulations and case-based scenarios at the heart of the new NRP.
The NRP Textbook features 9 extensively revised lessons, updated Key Points sections, case scenarios for each major resuscitation technique, color photos, new Integrated Skills Station (replacing the Megacode) and other performance checklists, and much more.
The text is packaged with an all-new companion DVD-ROM (for use on a Mac or PC) that brings higher levels of interactivity and involvement to the learning process. Multi-decision point scenarios enable the student to direct the course of treatment simulations. Randomly generated clinical problems and outcomes offer varied learning challenges.
The DVD-ROM also includes dynamic video footage of actual resuscitations, laryngoscopic camera footage, and animated 3-D demonstrations. A DVD-based presentation builder lets instructors enrich classroom and other presentations with high-impact video clips.
