House supervisors certifications

It's called NRP and yes, it makes sense.

Does the house supervisor cover ED? Or are any children admitted to the facility?

If so then yes it seems appropriate.

House supervisors do cover the ED. All ED nurses are ACLS and PALS. No ER nurses are NALS. Why should a HS be required to have NALS if no one else does?

If the hospital no longer has and OB department or a Peds department is it necessary for a house supervisor to be PALS and NALS certified? What would you say to the CNO who is demanding it?

If they gave an urgent care, ED, ICU or Med-Surg or ambulatory surgery department that still cares for peds patients-up to the teen years then yes, PALS would be needed IMO.

I think NRP is important...

Any mom can walk into the ER to deliver a baby. You never know what the situation will be, and it can take awhile to get a transport team there to get the baby. Knowing what to do in this situation...even if it is a slim chance that it could happen, could save a babies life

NALS and NRP are by different organizations.  They aren't the same name
