Welcome to the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association Neonatal Resuscitation Program NRP Certification Course. The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) is an educational program jointly sponsored with the American Heart Association (AHA). The course has been designed to teach an evidence-based approach to resuscitation of the newborn to hospital staff who care for newborns at the time of delivery, including physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists. Welcome to the NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program) of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Hearts Association. Classes are done for 1-4 people. Classes are never cancelled as long as 1 person registers. Our class minimum is ONE! The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) teaches the concepts and skills of neonatal resuscitation and is sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association. The course has been designed to teach an evidence-based approach to resuscitation of the newborn to hospital staff who care for newborns at the time of delivery, including physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists. This course is recommended for those that have experience in a birth setting or care for newborns in the immediate postpartum period. This is often the case for licensed midwives or midwifery students, or other healthcare professionals who are not responsible for performing or assisting with intubation or medication administration. Course participants who do not have job responsibilities for procedures such as intubation or umbilical venous catheter placement may learn about and demonstrate these procedures to enhance their learning experience. NRP does not certify the learner to perform any technique, does not imply competence to perform neonatal resuscitation, and does not determine the participant's scope of practice. The 8th Edition, released in 2021, is based on simulation methodology, enhancing development of critical leadership, communication and team work skills. Instructor-learner contact is focused on interactive learning, immersive simulation, and constructive debriefing. The course consists of the Performance Skills Station, an Integrated Skills Station, and 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 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 is now a required component of an NRP course. It provides team members with a safe setting in which to integrate cognitive and technical skills and focus on team communication and patient safety. While this course does not guarantee proficiency during an actual resuscitation, it lays the foundation of knowledge, technical skills, and teamwork and communication skills that enable participants to continue development of neonatal resuscitation skills. Successful completion earns the participant a same day Neonatal Resuscitation Provider (NRP) Provider Card. Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) provider status and should be renewed every 2 years, before the day of the month that it expires. Your provider card is now valid until the last day of the month.
