NRP Course Description
The Neonatal Resuscitation Program™ is an educational program that introduces the
concepts and basic skills of neonatal resuscitation. This course has been designed to teach an evidence-based approach to resuscitation
of the newborn. The causes, prevention, and management of mild to severe neonatal
asphyxia are carefully explained so that health professionals may develop optimal
knowledge and skill in resuscitation. Completion of the program does not imply that an individual has the competence to
perform neonatal resuscitation. A comprehensive instructional textbook, which includes an interactive multi-media
DVD-ROM, forms the basic educational component of the program
NRP Online Examination
The online examination replaces the written test. Providers will need to self-study
the NRP Textbook, and complete the online examination prior to attending a course.
Up to 9 hours of Continuing Education Credit will be offered for the examination for
physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and emergency medical service professionals.
After online testing is complete, students receive a printout indicating which lessons
have been successfully completed and the date of completion. The student will then
present the printout within 30 days to the instructor for verification of completion.
If the leaner fails one or more lessons on the online test, that lesson(s) may be
retaken one time within 14 days. If a learner fails any lesson 2 or more times no
printout is prepared and the learner must repay and must retake the entire exam.
Overview
- The new NRP course format now requires learners to study the Textbook of Neonatal
Resuscitation, and take the online examination before attending an NRP course.
- This test covers the material in Lessons 1 through 9 the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation.
Learners who are successful in completing the lesson reviews in the textbook should
not find the exam difficult.
The pre-evaluation:
- You should not begin the examination without having an instructor identified. If you
complete the exam before you identify an instructor for hands-on skills and you are
unable to locate a course within 30 days, you will need to retake the exam at your
expense.
Taking the exam:
- The online test is arranged by lesson, in the same order as in the textbook.
- You may skip questions and come back to them.
- You may change your answers on any question until you submit the lesson for grading.
- You may stop testing after a lesson, and resume testing later.
- If you do not attain a passing score (80%) for a lesson, you may retake that section
immediately, or on a different day, within 14 days of the original testing date. After
14 days, the online testing becomes invalid and requires payment to begin again.
- When you pass a lesson, you will see any questions that you missed in the lesson.
You can print this page if you want to discuss this question with your instructor
or review it later. This is your only opportunity to see or print your missed questions.
- You may retake each lesson once and still pass.
- All students taking NRP with a Augusta University instructor must complete all lessons
1 through 9.
- The NRP Online Examination only requires lessons 1 through 4 and 9 for completion.
Because you will need to take lessons 5-8, you must take them before you complete
lesson 9. If you complete lesson 9 before lessons 5-8, the exam will pass you and
you will no longer be able to take these lessons.
- Neither the Administrator or HealthStream can reopen a completed exam after submission,
nor can they supply new access to learners who did not complete the appropriate lessons
in order.
- After completing the examination, you will receive an exam verification form. Bring
this with you to the NRP course and give to your instructor. If you cannot produce
an exam verification form, you cannot attend the course.
*If you do not finish testing or cannot pass the test prior to the course start time,
you may not attend the course.

The text facilitates the self-study to help students prepare for the mandatory online
examination that replaces the traditional written test. It also complements the simulations
and case-based scenarios at the heart of the new NRP.
The NRP Textbook features 9 extensively revised lessons, updated Key Points sections,
case scenarios for each major resuscitation technique, color photos, new Integrated
Skills Station (replacing the Megacode) and other performance checklists, and much
more.
The text is packaged with an all-new companion DVD-ROM (for use on a Mac or PC) that
brings higher levels of interactivity and involvement to the learning process. Multi-decision
point scenarios enable the student to direct the course of treatment simulations.
Randomly generated clinical problems and outcomes offer varied learning challenges.
The DVD-ROM also includes dynamic video footage of actual resuscitations, laryngoscopic
camera footage, and animated 3-D demonstrations. A DVD-based presentation builder
lets instructors enrich classroom and other presentations with high-impact video clips.
