Same here, and for the same reasons. And I might , in fact, end up in a
neonatal resuscitation at some point, if things on the labor & delivery unit
are very busy and I step in to be a "baby nurse" or cover the NICU while
that nurse goes to get lunch.
At the hospital I worked at previously, the lactation consultant was doing
an outpatient consult one day and the infant became limp and turned blue in
the Mom's arms and the LC had to run the infant to the NICU. So I make sure
my NRP certification is up to date.

Christine asks: "And, while I'm at it, how many RN, LC's who are not working
as a mother
baby or L&D nurse need to be NRP certified?
The RN, LC's at my hospital work solely as lactation consultants and yet we
are all required to be NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program) certified. I'm
not
sure this is a good use of the hospital's money since we will never be
called
upon to do a delivery room resuscitation, but I guess it looks good on paper
for JCACHO and other regulatory agencies. All nurses working in the
perinatal
area must be NRP certified.
