At our hospital we are expected to have our NRP qualification (Neonatal Rescusitation Program) if we work with babies in any capacity in the post-partum area.
I still do work in L&D so I definitely need it there but I think our department heads want us to be well versed in NRP to deal with emergencies if they arise.
I have to renew my certificate tomorrow in fact -- so I must away to study for it!

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.
