Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP)

Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP)

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program™ (NRP) is a course designed to teach an evidenced–based approach to resuscitation of the newborn so that health professionals may develop optimal knowledge and skill in resuscitation.

About the Program

The NRP exam and skills evaluation are based on information obtained from the Neonatal Resuscitation Textbook, 8th Edition.  Prior to the NRP Instructor-Led Event, it is the student's responsibility to read the NRP 8th edition textbook and complete and successfully pass the 8th Edition online advanced provider curriculum (Part 1). You can complete the NRP 8th edition online provider curriculum as early as 90 days prior to your NRP Instructor-Led Event. However, in order to attend the NRP Instructor-Led Event, you must bring written documentation that you have completed and successfully passed (Part 1) of the NRP 8th Edition online advanced provider curriculum.  

Elliot employees will be assigned the NRP 8th edition online provider curriculum in HealthStream once they have registered for a class through the Elliot Hospital NICU Practice Coordinator via phone at 603-663-2692 or by email at classregistration@Elliot-HS.org. For Non-Elliot Hospital employees, there is a $100 non-refundable registration fee to attend the NRP Instructor-Led Event once they have registered for a class through the Elliot Hospital NICU Practice Coordinator. Information on purchasing the NRP 8th edition textbook can be obtained from the American Academy of Pediatrics Website. In order to take the NRP 8th edition online advanced provider curriculum, you will need to register on the NRP Learning Platform and enroll in the 8th Edition Advanced Provider Curriculum. 

Following your successful completion of the NRP 8th edition provider curriculum (Part 1), you will then be ready for the Instructor-Led Event. During the Instructor-Led Event, you will be expected to demonstrate a mastery of resuscitation skills in the Integrated Skills Stations and participate in simulated resuscitation scenarios followed by a debriefing session.

If you are an Elliot employee, the NRP 8th edition textbook can be signed out on loan from the Neonatology Office in the NICU on the 5th Floor and should be returned to the NRP instructor at the end of the course. Please contact the Neonatology Office at 603-663-2692 if you have any questions. Non-Elliot employees will need to purchase their own textbook from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
