COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This third of a 4-part series focuses on the acquisition of core component skill sets needed for independent practice in the NICU. This series will be perfect for NTs studying for the Neonatal Therapy Certificate Exam or those new to the NICU by 1) laying a foundation of fundamental knowledge, 2) closing knowledge gaps and 3) applying this new knowledge to NICU interventions.
