1. ESSENTIALS (Lessons 1-4)

This checkoff class is for healthcare providers such as L&D, well-baby, postpartum or lactation nurses, midwife assistants, or anyone who is not expected to perform in a full neonatal resuscitation code. You will only need to take the Essentials exam, Lessons 1-4. If you are a midwife and are expected to place an oral airway and give chest compressions until paramedics arrive, you should take the Advance course. If you are unsure which type of NRP you need, check with your healthcare facility, establishment or governing board.

2. ADVANCE (Lessons 1-11)

This checkoff class is for healthcare providers who will be involved with advanced neonatal resuscitation skills such as performing chest compressions, placing an airway, placing umbilical or I/O lines, and drawing up and/or giving meds. This may include midwives, neonatal nurses, advance practice nurses, respiratory therapists, physicians, physician assistants, paramedics, or any others who desire or may be required to perform advanced neonatal resuscitation skills beyond Lesson 4.
