Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP)
The NRP course is designed to give the healthcare provider the basic knowledge to care for the neonatal patient in cardiac arrest and to manage resuscitation efforts in conditions that may lead to arrest. This course will provide the skills necessary to resuscitate a newborn and to work smoothly as a team with other healthcare professionals. The intended audience for this course includes pediatricians, emergency physicians, nurses, paramedics, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals who may be involved in the first critical moments of a newborn infant's life. The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) course format now requires learners to self-study the material from the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 6th edition, and take a mandatory online examination BEFORE attending their NRP course.
Once your registration form is confirmed by Cooper 's Life Support Training Center, you will be provided with a simple username and password for access to the online NRP examination. Students can ONLY take this online examination anytime during the 30 days BEFORE your scheduled NRP provider course. You must finish this online testing within 14 days of your Original online start date and you must bring proof of this completion to your scheduled course date in order to gain entry into the class.
