PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program® (NRP®) course conveys an evidence-based approach to care of the newborn at birth and facilitates effective 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.

Completion of the program does not imply that an individual has the competence to perform neonatal resuscitation. Each hospital is responsible for determining the level of competence and qualifications required for someone to assume clinical responsibility for neonatal resuscitation.

CAUTION: The American Academy of Pediatrics has been advised that there are entities offering NRP "certification" or "verification" cards through online courses. Please be advised that these entities are not affiliated, associated with, or connected to AAP and they have no authority from AAP or the American Heart Association to issue cards. The cards issued by these entities are not official AAP/AHA NRP Course Completion cards.​​

You must advise your instructor of any physical limitations, injuries or disabilities that require accommodation at least two (2) business days prior to your scheduled course by sending an e-mail to vhceducation@vhchealth.org. You understand passing a skills test is a Neonatal Resuscitation Program course completion requirement, and that limitations which prevent you from doing so will prohibit your receipt of a course completion card or eCard.

If you have any medical or cardiac history that may be aggravated by the performance of physical activity, you should consult your physician and ask for advice as to whether you should participate in this course.
