Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP)

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.

Completion of the program does not imply that an individual has the competence to perform neonatal resuscitation. Each hospital is responsible for determining the level of competence and qualifications required for someone to assume clinical responsibility for neonatal resuscitation.

After studying the NRP textbook, learners take the online exam via HealthStream. Upon successful exam completion, learners attend a course for skills training, simulation, and debriefing.  These skills trainings, simulations and debriefings are held at Community Hospital and facilitated by Trained Hospital Based Instructors.
