Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)
Can I take the NRP renewal
course if I do not have a CURRENT NRP card from the American
Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) ? I passed the examination 3 years
ago.
Answer: No. The renewal is only for individuals whose NRP card,
at the time of renewal,
have not expired. If your card have expired prior to the renewal
course, you will need to take the New Provider’s
course. AAP does not give
any GRACE period.
I took a similar program (not the AAP-sponsored program) and my
card from that course is current. Can I take this renewal course
?
Answer: No. The AAP only recognizes it’s own course.
I need to renew my card but would like to take a vacation day
(attend a conference, etc) on one of the 2 (or 3) dates the course
is offered. Can I attend only one session ?
Answer: The written portion of the test must be passed before
the Megacode can be scheduled. You have up to 30 days to take the
Megacode after successfully taking the written examination. We
will let you know (by email) what alternative arrangements can
be made.
I meet all the renewal requirements but have lost my book. Can
I get a new copy ?
Answer: A current version of the textbook should be available
in the CHM library. If not,
email us to let us know. If you wish to purchase a new book,
the charge is $50.00. Please send your
personal check made out to
Children’s Hospital of Michigan,
3901 Beaubien Blvd., Detroit, MI 48201, c/o NRP – The Children’s
Research Center of Michigan
at CHM. Your return address (with zip code) should be included.
Please allow a minimum of 2 weeks for
processing and delivery.
I signed up for the course and received an assigned time for the
Skill Stations or Megacode, but have forgotten where and when it
will be held.
Answer: Plan to meet the instructor prior to the first session
to confirm your assigned time.
I don't like the time I was assigned for
the Skill Stations or Megacode and want to trade with another resident.
Can we just go
ahead and change times?
Answer: You are welcome to
change times with someone
who has also signed up
however, you must BOTH let us know,
since we will attempt to
page anyone who does not
show up for the course.
BOTH residents need to let us
know so that changes are
agreed upon and remembered.
I forgot to attend the written session. What do I do?
Answer: Arrange for a time prior to starting the Skill Stations
or Megacode and be prepared
to pass the examination. The instructors will assign you to a
time slot that day. If that is not possible,
you will need to take the
new provider’s course in June.
I did not pass all of the
exams on the written portion. Can I still take the Megacode
?
Answer: No, you must pass all of the written AND correct all wrong
answers (using the book) before you can take the Megacode.
I've worked in the nursery
and know that we don't do
things the same way the book teaches.
Can
I answer the questions like I've been practicing?
Answer: No, the AAP makes up the test and the rules. To receive
your NRP card from the AAP,
you must answer the way the text dictates.
I still have not gotten
my
NRP card and the course
was completed two weeks ago
Answer: The AAP send out the cards and we send them in the roster
after everyone has completed the materials. If It has been more
than 8 weeks, check with us (by email) to see if you gave us a
correct address.
If you have additional questions,
please e-mail us and we will
respond as quickly as we can within a week.
Good Luck!
