Continuing Education Offerings

4 hours online and 2 hours in-person skills classes geared toward licensed caregivers who may be in a situation where they would be assessing, resuscitating, and stabilizing neonates. NRP teaches the cognitive, technical, and teamwork skills needed to resuscitate and stabilize neonates. Although most newborns make the cardiorespiratory transition to extrauterine life without intervention, many will require assistance to begin breathing and a small number will require extensive intervention. The need for assistance cannot always be predicted and teams need to be prepared to provide these lifesaving interventions quickly and efficiently at every birth (NRP, 7th Edition). Capacity will depend on the room capacity at each facility (Cannot be presented virtually, hands-on skills must be verified in person).

8 hour in-person or virtual class geared towards licensed caregivers who may be in a situation where they would be assessing and stabilizing neonates. There are a number of facilities that do not deliver babies every day and could benefit from the general assessment and stabilization of sick infant guidelines provided by this educational program. Capacity will depend on the room capacity at each facility, unless presented virtually.

• Based on a mnemonic to optimize learning, retention and recall of information, S.T.A.B.L.E. stands for the six assessment and care modules in the program: Sugar, Temperature, Airway, Blood pressure, Lab work, and Emotional support. A seventh module, Quality Improvement, stresses communication and teamwork as well as the professional responsibility of evaluating care provided to sick infants, with the ultimate goal of improving future care.
• First introduced in 1996 in the US and Canada, S.T.A.B.L.E. has grown internationally to include instructor training and courses in more than 45 countries. Currently, there are more than 4,400 registered instructors worldwide and more than 561,383 neonatal healthcare providers have completed a S.T.A.B.L.E. Learner course.
