NRP

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program® (NRP®) course conveys an evidence-based approach to care of the newborn at birth and facilitates e​ffective team-based care for healthcare professionals who care for newborns at the time of delivery. NRP utilizes a blended learning approach, which includes online testing, online case-based simulations, and hands-on case-based simulation/debriefing that focus on critical leadership, communication, and team-work skills.​​

After completion of the online modules, the skills session takes approximately 3 hours.

There are 2 versions of the online portion Essentials and Advanced – Essentials is for those providers that may have to initiate resuscitation but wouldn’t be involved in a full-resuscitation (ex. OBs, midwives, lactation consultants, EMTs) – Advanced is for RNs, RTs, pediatricians that would need to fully resuscitate a newborn including intubation, chest compressions, and medications

The classroom portion is the same for all learners  - so the only difference is in the online curriculum that they choose to purchase. If you are not sure which version you should take then I recommend the Advanced Provider curriculum since the cost is the same for both.

PALS Plus for the Advanced Provider (online course with skills session)

The American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics collaborated to develop PALS Plus, a pediatric advanced life support course designed for more experienced pediatric healthcare professionals seeking advanced educational content.

The full course includes an online portion consisting of HeartCode® PALS Online and the student’s selection of at least 6 of the 9 PALS Plus Advanced eLearning Modules, followed by a HeartCode PALS hands-on skills session with an authorized AHA PALS Instructor.

After successful completion of all PALS Plus Provider Course components, students will receive a PALS Plus Provider eCard (a PALS Provider eCard with a special designation of “PALS Plus”), valid for 2 years. Students may select from the following modules:

  • Advanced Airway Management
  • Child Abuse
  • Toxicology
  • Trauma—Overview and Approach
  • Technologically Dependent Child
  • Sedation and Analgesia
  • Post–Cardiac Arrest Care
  • Ultrasound
  • Congenital Heart Disease

Who should take this course?

The PALS Plus Course is for healthcare providers who either direct or participate in the management of respiratory and/or cardiovascular emergencies, cardiopulmonary arrest, and other emergent and critical conditions in pediatric patients. This includes personnel in emergency response, emergency medicine, intensive care, and critical care units such as physicians, physician assistants, hospitalists, advanced practice/registered nurses, advanced level prehospital providers, and others who desire additional advanced educational content beyond the traditional PALS course.
