Just Plain Ruff Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 How about PEPP?? NRP is a good class to get. You never know when you will have a newborn that needs resuscitating. Having NRP is a good foundation IF if is taught by the right people. What I mean is that if the people teaching the class take care of less than 50 critical newborns a year then you are not going to be getting the advantages of experience. good knowledge though.

I would rather have a good L&D RN or RRT who attends about 50 deliveries per month. Very few of these babies require a NICU. They just need a little help getting started. I also remember when it was the 2 day course called NALS. But, they found that much of the information was redundant for those taking the course so just the essentials are now covered. It is a decent overview for some and a review or update for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle308 Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 i did PEPP durring my EMT course and thought it was a good help and expansion on what the EMT book said(which wasnt much). They give you a nice assesment tool to use on just kids its a more scenario based learning type class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
