NRP

The NRP Provider Course introduces the concepts and basic skills of neonatal resuscitation. It is designed for health care professionals involved in any aspect of neonatal resuscitation, including physicians, nurses, advanced practice nurses, nurse midwives, licensed midwives, respiratory care practitioners, and other health care professionals who provide direct care during neonatal resuscitation.

How do I know whether to take the Essentials or Advanced NRP?
Each organization will determine its own policy for who should attain NRP Essentials or NRP Advanced provider status.

Anyone who is involved in the care of a newborn should take NRP Essentials.

NRP Advanced is appropriate for those who attend births and are responsible for anticipated resuscitation of a newborn with known risk factors, and for those who participate in neonatal resuscitation beyond positive-pressure ventilation.

The AAP will not deter any NRP learner from taking either course option. If a healthcare professional is unsure about which NRP level to take, they should probably take NRP Advanced and should check with their institution.
