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.
