NRP= neonatal resuscitative program. If you're not getting into these areas, as HouTx said, no need, but look at the populations with which you may be working. What area of nursing are you trying to crack? I want to crack into Neuro / OR / ER / MICU. I just interviewed with an amazing Neuro unit at the hospital I already work at as a PCA. I really love the busy, hectic, exciting and challenging things that a hospital offers. Neuro would be my goal. I know that as a new nurse I need experience to get into a lot of these units but I'm a go getter so I'm trying regardless. I did just cert for NIH stroke scale. The said they will train me for certs in vents, etc. I just can't wait to start as an RN!! so exciting!!!
