BEFORE the Live, Skill-Testing

Travel arrangements: At this time, we recommend that you do not travel to attend Live, Skill-Testing with Karen. If you need the NRP card, try to find a local hospital location and take Karen’s Teachable course to get all the out-of-hospital specific info that you’ll use to be ready for the unexpected.

Need your NRP Card?: After you get the email confirmation that your Live, Skill-Testing location is guaranteed, you’ll need to read the 8th edition for 2022, take the NRP learning assessment, survey and register for instructor led event via NRP Learning Platform. Learn more about NRP card

Teachable: Karen’s unique out-of-hospital Neonatal Resuscitation teaches EXACTLY what to do to when faced with a baby in distress. Teachable course is required before attending skill testing. Non-refundable. Spend some time with Karen, and ‘take the charge off’ of learning resuscitation. All parts of video lecture need to be watched, video clips and handouts printed, and then… Drink some tea and take a few breaths, then practice…practice...practice…

Practice: No equipment? No problem…Try practicing on a doll or just practice the squeezes. It’s ALL about the muscle memory! Use Karen’s audio only counts in the car and practice using her demo videos. It’ll make the Live, Skill-Testing so much better and you’ll be soooo glad you did! Practice is required before attending skill testing. You may not pass skill testing if you haven’t sufficiently practiced beforehand.

Need CEUs?: CEUs are available as part of your purchase of the Teachable course. To qualify for CEUs, you must watch the lecture, take the quiz on Teachable and complete the evaluation.

2 additional CEUs are available for watching the Baby’s Experience & Sacred Hour online videos. Link in Teachable. More info

CEUs for Licensure: If you’re collecting CEUs for licensure, the AAP/NRP Part 1 CE Certificate is what you’ll need. Keep a copy for your records. NARM does not accept CEUs for AAP/NRP course, because it is a required course.
