The HEN offers multiple formats to achieve Initial Certification or Recertification in the Neonatal Resuscitation Program. There is no longer a “Recertification” in NRP. All courses are now NRP Provider skill verification courses.
2 hour skill verification: This 2 hour format is taught around a warmer with only 4 students per warmer. Basic steps, UVC/medications and airway management (Mr. SOPA) are all incorporated into mega-codes during this skill verification.
4 hour skill verification: This 4 hour format begins with the student rotating through 3 stations: Basic Steps, UVC and medications, and Airway management with MR. SOPA. Once station completion is achieved, students break out to warmers for mega-code simulation.
ONLINE EXAM: All participants must come to class with NRP online exam completed. The exam is made available via a HEN Hospital Account or the student is directed to the www.aap.org website to self-purchase.
